Clinton wields powerful e-mail list

BEN SMITH, 7/7/08, http://www.politico.com/news/stories/0708/11532.html  
  
Hillary  Rodham Clinton folded her campaign’s tent last month, shedding
spokespeople, fundraisers, lawyers, and advance men and women by the dozen.

But two senior aides remain: Katie Dowd, who runs Clinton’s website and
her email list, and Peter Daou, her campaign liaison to the blogosphere.

The survival of Clinton’s online operation highlights her induction into
a small but growing new club of presidential losers who have used the
Internet to maintain some of their national profile and power. 

The defeated candidates use e-mail, websites and social networks to
maintain contact with their supporters through legacy online campaigns
that keep their coffers full, their bases intact and their political
futures viable.

"This is a medium that allows candidates — whether they're successful or
not — to maintain direct contact with their supporters," said Daou, who 
said Clinton’s e-mail list is in the "seven figures," though he wouldn’t 
give a more specific number..
