The Very Model Of a Modern Media Strategist

Congressional blog king Jack Kingston (R-GA) is losing his spokesblogger and the driving force behind his ascension to the throne of the legislative blogging set.  But Kingston's loss may be our collective gain.

David All, who took a leave from Kingston's office to serve as Mike Bouchard's communications director in his bid to unseat the dangerous incompetence that is Debbie Stabenow, has hung out an e-shingle under the name The David All Group.

In David's words:

After nearly two years at the helm of the Kingston modern media machine, I’ve decided to jump to the next chapter of the revolution by founding the nation’s premiere, Republican-only modern media consultancy. I strongly believe that our party needs to find and embrace modern, better ways to communicate with America to win back the majority and I look forward to helping the team do just that.

Recently, '08 Presidential hopefuls have been netting high-profile bloggers to head their respective in-house online outreach programs.  For Senatorial and Congressional campaigns, All seems well positioned to serve as the outsourced alternative to DIY modern media.

In the spirit of disclosure, I'm favorably biased, as I've gotten to take some pretty cool trips to Capitol Hill for events organized by David (plus, I was honored with a vaunted Jackie, further eroding my objectivity), but this is a group to watch closely as hundreds of Republican candidates scramble to find an edge going into the '08 elections.
