Top White House candidates unveiled their own YouTube video channels on Thursday, pushing the 18-month-old Web video-sharing site even farther into the U.S. political mainstream.
Democrats including Hillary Clinton, Barack Obama, John Edwards and Bill Richardson have signed up to have their own channels. So have Republicans John McCain, Mitt Romney and Rudy Giuliani.
They can post a video in which they speak on a given issue while members of the public will be able post a video response or questions for the candidate.
I wonder how quickly these will devolve into swift boat-style flames?
How sad is it when politicians understand marketing better than a huge media company like Viacomm…. politicians try to get in while viacomm tries to get out.
That’s because politics has degenerated into nothing but marketing.
This could become seriously entertaining.
yay! political smear campaigns brought direct to the voters
TV etc. are dead, they’ve just forgot to lie down.
