Bob Graham, please call your webmaster

Bob Graham was making his first campaign swing through New Hampshire yesterday. It’s about time; his rivals for the Democratic nomination have been making dozens of trips to the state for months.

During his trip, Graham started chatting with some folks on a lunch break in downtown Manchester. Graham was introducing himself to one woman, Karen Garriepy, who obviously had no idea who he was.

“You’re running for…?” she asked. Graham explained that he was running for president and gave her a business card. Garriepy told a reporter after her conversation with the senator, “I’ll probably be checking him out online.”

That’s a great idea, except for one small problem. Graham is the only candidate in the race that hasn’t set up a website.

Sure, Graham’s got a very nice site for his Senate office, but nothing for the presidential campaign. He’s been in the race for a couple of months now, and he’s been thinking about it for an even longer period of time. There’s really no excuse for dropping the ball on this.

ABC News’ The Note actually started checking every URL they could think of, including obvious ones such as grahamforpresident.com, graham2004.com, and bobgraham2004.com. Nothing.

Jamal Simmons, one of Graham’s spokespersons, told The Note that a site is “in the works.” I only have one word of advice for the Graham campaign: Hurry.
