ABC News is collecting daily "notes" from the presidential candidates and collecting them on one website. The notes can be on any topic, but must be 200 words or less. Most of the notes have been written (or at least attributed) to the candidates themselves.

The Washington Post is calling it a weblog, but I don't see it. I'm not sure what could more can be communicated by the candidates in 200 of their own words that isn't included in the reams of ink already dedicated to the campaign everyday by paid reporters and bloggers. Vermont Governor Howard Dean has an official weblog for his campaign. It is updated severeal times a day, with links to press, updates on movement along the campaign trail, and general commentary, but isn't updated by Dean himself, rather a collection of PR flacks (I'm guessing). Still, it is a good to see candidates embracing technology, and this should be an increasingly interesting read as the campaign continues, especially in light of the verbal volleys already taking place between Dean and Kerry.
