The article says that some members of the House of Representatives and the Senate are also interacting with the blogging community. Senator John Kerry even recently posted on the Daily Kos blog community.
When someone calling himself "John Kerry" posted a diary on the popular liberal community blog DailyKos last week, its members reacted with both suspicion and amazement.
Some immediately welcomed Kerry to the community, expressing pleasant surprise that the Massachusetts senator would take part in "our little progressive group blog."
Others, however, were more skeptical. They found it hard to imagine that Kerry himself had posted on DailyKos, since it could have been one of the senator's staffers or even a random person using the senator's name.
But before long, the site's owner, Markos Moulitsas, posted a comment confirming that the diary was legitimate. All told, Kerry's post received 1,219 comments, many friendly and many from members of the community still angry at the 2004 Democratic presidential nominee for losing the election to George W. Bush.
The article says that are just eleven members of Congress with blogs. However, we should see more lawmaker blogs come online as we start getting closer to the 2006 midterm elections in November.
