Good question for Google -- why not use the 'Net for lobbying?
Here's a good column on C/Net today that asks why Google is hiring D.C. lawyers, instead of trying new solutions for the lobbying problem. I say, why not do both? Hire the lawyers to CYA among the old guard, while using the Howard Dean online approach to bring new numbers into the fray.
Good luck, tho, in getting Google to answer. I'm on day 5 of a request for Google to respond to AT&T's claims from last week. All I've heard so far is an email saying "we'll get back to you if we think you are important enough to warrant our time."
Maybe, while they're hiring, add some more P.R. or press liason staffers? Gotta be room in the budget, alongside all the free chow.
