Hillary Clinton's announcement that she's officially running for President only confirms what followers of the political game have known for months, if not years. But as important as it is in affecting the course of the 2008 campaign, the manner in which she did so - via a video announcement and subsequent "conversation" at the self-declared "Hillary TV" section of her own website - is but the newest instance of a candidate using new channels to bypass traditional media and take her message directly to voters. In effect, Hillary is now her own TV network.
