Presidential advisors recommend some Hot Soup
Mark McKinnon and Joe Lockhart join Coy Barefoot to discuss Hot Soup.com, a new website for political junkies. McKinnon has been a Senior Campaign Consultant to President Bush and Lockhart was President Clinton’s Press Secretary. “We think there are lots of people in America today that don’t feel any particular party affiliation, that feel like they’ve been shut out of the conversation,” says McKinnon. Hotsoup hopes to open the doors and bring more people to the political table. Each week, the website will feature political debates from five different perspectives, and users will be encouraged to form social networks to carry on the discussion. The site will launch in October.
