In February 1996, Jacobs was toying with some magazine concepts on the IPA Internet site (www.ipahome.com) and began writing “Campaign Journal,” a weekly column on the presidential election, under the Stump Connolly pseudonym. By November, the site was getting 3,000 hits daily.
The columns are collected in Jacobs’ book.
The Clinton-Dole match wasn’t Jacobs’ first foray into politcal reporting. He covered the Nixon-Humphrey slugfest in 1968 for the Harvard Crimson and Nixon’s knockout of McGovern in 1972 for the Milwaukee Sentinel.
