Dean camp bought advertisements too

In the wake of the Armstrong Williams situation, it now seems that Howard Dean was involved in a similar operation. According to the WSJ,

• Howard Dean's presidential campaign hired two Internet political "bloggers" as consultants so that they would say positive things about the former governor's campaign in their online journals, according to a former high-profile Dean aide.

I have no doubt that the left media that went looking for blood over the Williams/NCLB connection will be eager to share the details of Howard Dean's seemingly similar marketing strategy.
