The Right Wing News Upgrade Is Now Complete, RightWingNews.

First of all, RWN is now a group blog -- and not just on the week-ends.

During the week, I will be regularly posting along with Dr. Melissa Clouthier & Van Helsing from Moonbattery. I'll probably be adding one more regular guest blogger as well.

Also, you will be seeing occasional (probably 1-2 posts a week) from Atlas (an anonymous congressional aide), former congressional aide and tech junky, David All, and E.M. Zanotti from The American Princess.

Once I get the final guest blogger in place, it's going to mean that the amount of content on RWN is going to have roughly doubled each day from 6 posts to around 12.

Additionally, there were some other changes made, some of which you'll be able to see and some of which, you won't.

Ousted Executive Provides a Feminine Face to the McCain Campaign, New York Times.

But Mr. McCain, as Ms. Fiorina put it, does “clearly not” share the views of her critics. To the contrary, he so proudly calls on Ms. Fiorina in her regular appearances with him on the campaign trail — he calls her an American success story “who began as a part-time secretary” — that he seems to be suggesting that Ms. Fiorina, true or not, might have a role in a McCain cabinet.

As a result, Ms. Fiorina has been buzzed about as a potential commerce or Treasury secretary or even as a McCain running mate, although some Republicans close to Mr. McCain swiftly dismiss the idea of her as vice president. But the view within the campaign is that it can only help Mr. McCain’s standing among women to have Ms. Fiorina mentioned as a possibility for high-profile office in a McCain administration, particularly when he is trying to win over the supporters of Senator Hillary Rodham Clinton.

In the meantime, Ms. Fiorina has done little to tamp down speculation that she might run for office herself, including the California governorship in 2010.

“I would be disingenuous if I said it has never occurred to me,” Ms. Fiorina said about running in general. “And in part it occurs to me because people keep asking. When I give speeches, people raise their hand — ‘run, run, run.’ ” For now, she said, “I’m focused on getting McCain elected.”

TechCrunch's Mike Arrington shows his primary colors, LA Times.

It was a fascinathttp://techrepublican.com/node/add/bloging political odyssey for Arrington. He praises former Republican candidate Mitt Romney for having the courage to go first, braving his questions and his readers' "crazy comments." He dings Democratic contender Dennis Kucinich for hanging up before delving into any of the issues.

Arrington ended each interview with the same question: Are you a Mac or PC user? Most were PC users, except McCain, who professed to being computer "illiterate." McCain's campaign later clarified that McCain knows how to use a computer and surrounds himself with tech savvy folks. The message: This is no Ted Stevens referring to the Internet as a "series of tubes."

"Frankly, I don’t give a damn if McCain ever turns on a computer or not," Arrington said. Besides, McCain totes an iPod loaded with his favorite Beach Boys and Roy Orbison tunes, Arrington pointed out.

John Hawkins: A strident right-wing voice in a crowded blogosphere, MediaTransparency.org.

Angry, pugnacious, sophomoric, bombastic, prolific, internet savvy, occasionally funny and under-funded, John Hawkins the founder of the blog, RightWingNews, is focused on bringing down Sen. Barack Obama, the Democratic Party's presumptive presidential nominee.

While Hawkins, who calls himself a "mainstream conservative," is no big fan of Republican John McCain, he is certain that the Arizona Senator, the Republican Party's presumptive presidential nominee, would better serve America than Obama.

Who is John Hawkins, and why should we care about what he thinks or does? He's no Matt Drudge and some would call him just another bleater in the crowded blogosphere, churning out items faster than a Land O' Lakes butter factory. While he isn't in the top echelon of conservative activists, stories that appear on RightWingNews reach thousands of people and are geared toward consolidating conservative discontent behind McCain.

Advice for McCain: Rethink strategy, Politico.

9. Viral market the heck out of everything: God knows the Obama people know how to use the Internet. Think Obama Girl. Creatively telling the positive stories about McCain in short clips on the Internet should be a bigger part of this campaign. The opposing team will do negative clips. McCain has to keep it positive and keep it real.

10. Reinvent the modern campaign: The Obama primary campaign was nearly perfect. It used the most modern techniques (heck, it invented them) to make Obama a true modern phenom. McCain’s people need to study what Obama did and adapt those techniques to the Republican’s personality and his strengths. The long-winded speech is not McCain's strength. But his personality, his courage, his integrity and his life story are strengths that can be highlighted in a truly modern campaign.

FCC chief's free broadband plan delayed, AP.

A plan by the nation's top telecommunications regulator to provide free wireless high-speed Internet service hit a snag this week over concerns about possible interference and a proposed censoring feature that upset free speech advocates.

Federal Communications Commission Chairman Kevin Martin told The Associated Press on Thursday that the plan will not be voted on at the June 12 meeting as first promised, but he hopes to present it to the full commission in July.

"I want to be clear that I am still very supportive of the cause of providing a lifeline broadband service across the country," he said.

Under the plan, the FCC would auction 25 megahertz of spectrum _ a sizable chunk _ to a single bidder who would use it to build a nationwide network and dedicate about 25 percent of it for the broadband service.

From an RNC press release:

As Barack Obama wheezes across the Democrat primary finish line, many voters are still learning about the junior Senator from Illinois’ proposals to meet with rogue leaders instead of America’s generals, raise taxes on families and small businesses, and choke off funding for our nation’s soldiers.
