Ghostwriting In The Blogosphere: A Bad Idea

Jeff Jarvis of BuzzMachine think it's a bad idea for politicians to try to adopt in the blogosphere the same "false voice" they have employed in ghost-written columns and press releases for generations.

I agree. This is a new media era, Washington. Your readers expect you to behave differently than you do in old media, and you only irritate us when you send your flacks into the blogosphere on your behalf.
