People are going to need to be a bit more sophisticated than this:
The Wall Street Journal reports that soon after Sen. Hillary Clinton (D) "announced her bid for the presidency on the Internet, her campaign was boasting of its success in one of the most important new presidential battlefields: the Netroots Primary."
"Within hours of launching her bid Saturday, her campaign Web site had attracted 10,000 messages of support, 2,200 submissions for its blog contest and had signed up people to its email list at the rate of 100 a minute."
I signed up for Hillary's email list. But it isn't because I support her. It is simply because I want to know what she is doing. Signing up for an email list does not necessarily indicate someone supports something. Shouldn't that be obvious?
While I certainly don't fault the Clinton campaign for spinning it this way, I think we should expect more from the Wall St. Journal, no?
