Do we have PAID ambassadors here to FR for various candidates?

Well, I would say: yes, we do. Certainly Mitt Romney's people who post here are not doing it "for free." And, most Dem leaders now pay their people to do "blog outreach" or whatever they call it. (Remember the recent flap over John Edwards' bloggers?)

But, you bring up a very good point, even if you didn't intend to point this out: Unpaid relatives and friends of candidates who are here on FR, doing unpaid publicitiy, which I will call "doing good deeds" for th candidate, simply because they believe in the candidate, are much more appreciated by this forum than any "paid" politico ambassador.

If I were Rudy, I would have my wife here posting. Same for John McCain. And, in fact, if Jeb Bush ever runs for president, his wife can log onto FR and write essays about her husband for free for 7 years! I don't mean that in a rude way at all. It's just that we now know how much it matters to this forum to have someone like that here. And, it's a VERY time consuming task. If the families of these candidates think these candidates are so great, then, log into to FR and tell the world why.

Having said that, I am still very grateful for all that Gov Bush did to help teachers, and I am glad I was able to communicate that here on FR. Otherwise, people would never know all he did.
