Mike Pence Blog

Indiana Republican Mike Pence is the first member of Congress to commit to a consistent blog on his official site (even though the URL is actually hosted off the House servers). Pence was a valuable source for me as a reporter – as a former radio talk show host, he knows the power of getting information out, and he enjoys the internal politicking, too. The blog, powered by Blogger, is pretty tame at the start, but it’s a good signal to other members that this might be something to consider. Pence updates it via his BlackBerry, which is a good solution for those always-busy-looking representatives.
