Blogger Takes Consulting Job For Duncan Hunter
Odds are good that not many folks outside the Beltway know that Rep. Duncan Hunter, a California Republican, is running for president. But John Hawkins of Right Wing News will be doing his part to change that.
Hawkins announced today that he recently joined the team at TCV Media, an Internet and branding firm, in order "to be their point person in building up buzz for Duncan Hunter online."
"I agreed to work a maximum of three months for the campaign. ... Additionally, while I am working on the campaign, I'm not planning to blog about any of the 2008 Republican contenders on [Right Wing News] unless a story too big to ignore hits the wires," Hawkins wrote. "That's because I don't want to come across like a shill for Duncan if I eviscerate one of his opponents or talk him up."
His announcement comes during a week when two bloggers resigned from the campaign of Democratic presidential candidate John Edwards amid controversy over their writings before joining the campaign.
