Rumours about the ‘First Blog Scandal’ of the 2008 presidential campaign are circulating.
Amanda Marcotte of Pandagon, who this week accepted a job as "blogmaster" to the presidential campaign of Democrat John Edwards (part of her job is to write the campaign blog) is the centre of attention according to the man behind the rumours, Danny Glover of the Beltway Blogroll.
This is the scandalous storyline according to Glover’s post:
Like all bloggers, Marcotte is fast and loose with her opinions, and her opinion of the infamous rape allegations against lacrosse players at Duke University didn't sit well with some folks. When Marcotte started catching flak for that opinion, she apparently deleted itand started altering other comments at Pandagon.
However, not everyone seems to agree to the fact that this is a big scale scandal. Judging by most of the post’s commentsand Micha L. Sifry’s commentover at PDF it seems like this is a case that will be forgotten by the end of the week.
