Candidate for mayor Bob Hertzberg relaunched his web presence Monday with a new site at ChangeLA.com. He posted a multimedia ad and, hoping to take a page from Howard Dean, is raising money and signing up volunteers through the website. The Hertz-Blog also has moved over from bobhertzberg.com, but the entries are still few and far between. Blogs LAVoice.org and Hertzberg sympathizer BoifromTroy have thoughts on the matter. Tuesday's Daily News also covers the web relaunch and notes that Hertzberg and his ex-wife have reached an undisclosed settlement of their dispute over child support payments. The Times story doesn't have that, but does mention that Bernard Parks has a campaign website up.
Meanwhile, the Daily News' Rick Orlov looks in on Walter Whitman Moore, the only Republican to stick a foot in the mayoral waters so far. Moore, of Playa del Rey, also has a campaign website.
