Politician courts the 'ping' voters [Associated Press] Political candidates may use the Net to flesh out their positions on the issues, but one Washington wannabe has gone a step further. Jeff Seemann, a congressional candidate from Ohio, is asking concerned Netizens what they think he should do on the campaign trail. Like what time he should get up, whether he should campaign door to door, what events he should attend and so on.
