GOP 'Spokesblogger' Takes A Campaign Break

David All, the "spokesblogger" for Rep. Jack Kingston of Georgia, is taking a leave of absence from the Republican's staff to campaign for another Republican near All's home turf in Ohio.

All announced in an e-mail today that he will turn over the blog and press reins in Kingston's office to Krista Cole until November. During that time, All will be the communications director for Senate candidate Mike Bouchard, who is challenging Democratic Sen. Debbie Stabenow of Michigan.

"As a native Ohioan," All said, "I’m looking forward to working for a statewide Republican candidate in a Midwest battleground state. ... This race has all of the ingredients of being the premiere race to help Republicans maintain control of the Senate. I’m pleased to be joining the fight."

Bouchard does not have a blog on his campaign site. Perhaps that should be the first task for All, who has earned a reputation as one of the more technologically innovative GOP press chiefs on Capitol Hill. Why a Senate candidate in a "premiere race" doesn't have a blog by mid-August is beyond me.

UPDATE: Other blogs, including Hotline On Call, The Ballot Box and RedState, are reporting All's temporary move to the Midwest, a further testament to his reputation in the conservative blogosphere and beyond.
