Rice hires Dean veteran

Pinellas County Commission candidate Darden Rice has hired former Howard Dean and Alex Sink Internet guru Larry Biddle to help with social networking for the primary, the St. Petersburg Times is reporting. Here’s my 2007 story on Biddle’s accomplishments and experiences in helping transform politics via online networking.

Biddle, owner of PlanningWorks in St. Petersburg, was a pioneer in online fundraising in the Dean presidential campaign in 2004. (Full disclosure: He is the domestic partner of CL Editor David Warner.)

Rice faces a Democratic Primary against former St. Pete Councilwoman Rene Flowers. The winner will face social conservative School Board Member Nancy Bostock, a Republican.
