CNN reports on who’s hot at Eventful, the site where people demand that celebrities make appearances. Obama’s No. 1, Clinton’s No. 2, and Ron Paul is No. 3; Paul’s the only one who acceded to a demand.

In the comments to the post below about Chris Dodd’s stump speech on YouTube, Tim Tagaris of the campaign reports on the many ways they’re trying to go cyber:
We actually hired someone to travel with the senator to all of his campaign stops with the intention of capturing as much video as possible.We also live-streamed an event that day. This follows up on a number of live video-streams we’ve done where campaign staff has answered questions from people online in real-time. The next step is to incorporate Skype as well.
Tomorrow the Senator will be live-vlogging over at Firedoglake at 5 PM, taking questions from their audience and answering them, again, in real-time.
Just because it’s new, that doesn’t mean that candidates must embrace it. So text-messaging is cool. Does that make it the next medium for selecting a president?
But here we have Hillary Clinton announcing plans to use a “mobile-to-mobile text-messaging push” — whatever the hell that is — to pump her candidacy. And here we have John Edwards telling people to text their opposition to the war — which is about as meaningful as texting your choice for American Idol.
And we thought that network news soundbites were ridiculously short and insubstantial. What can we say in 140-character SMSes?
