Time for the Clintonian Post

Politico blogger Ben Smith notes that Peter Daou, Hillary Clinton's Web guru, will apparently continue to stick around "Hillaryland." Daou's job, among other things, will be "keeping a handle on" the vast email database the Clinton campaign assembled.

His new role reflects a striking feature of contemporary politics, in which online organizing allows defeated candidates — notably Howard Dean, though Wes Clark was also among the first — to keep their supporters and some of their power in the form of their e-mail lists.

No word as to what "keeping a handle on" actually entails. But apparently, not a blog. So here is what we would like to see: The Hillary Clinton blog. This is a great time for it. Everybody tells defeated candidates from both parties to sit down and shut up after the primaries. Instead, we say: Blog. And we have a name: The Clintonian Post.

She could even occasionally let What's His Name contribute. We'd read it.
