The Washington Post reports this evening that Hillary Rodham Clinton has hired Peter Daou, author of The Daou Report on Salon.com, as a new adviser to her senate re-election campaign. The hiring of a campaign staffer isn’t something that I would normally write about but Peter, who was director of blog operations for John Kerry’s 2004 presidential campaign, is a regular reader of my site and often links back here. Senator Clinton will be well served with Peter on her staff. Congratulations, Peter, on your new position.
