My pet project for this campaign season, aside from trying to be more like David Krakauer, is to increase the reach of Dem Apples outside of Harvard. To that end we're going to try to get some of the high-profile people coming through Harvard to guest blog here. If you've got a suggestion for someone we should contact, or better yet, you want to use your connections, let our Communications Director Hayley know.

Another part of increasing the reach of Dem Apples is to start doing lots of local coverage on our campaigns, primarily the Rhode Island Senate race and the Massachusetts governor's race. To that end, we need you to charge up your cameras, start reading the local blogs (start with rifuture.org), newspapers (start with the Providence Journal), and blog, blog, blog...and also link.

Not a blogger yet? Now's the time to get started.

Bloggers take note: tag your Rhode Island posts with RI-Sen or "Rhode Island" and your Massachusetts posts with MA-Gov or Massachusetts and they'll automatically appear in the right place on the Rhode Island coverage blog and the MA coverage blog (soon to come).

Speaking of which, we need some clever names for those two blogs. Markus, I'm looking at you.

Update: Markus delivers. Vote here (or make up your own and leave it in comments.)
