Putting Senators On The Video Spot Over Iraq
June 27, 2007, 11:08pm
I’ve complained before about the utter lack of substance in much of the supposed online innovation from this year’s presidential campaign. Apparently Sen. Christopher Dodd of Connecticut, one of the Democratic candidates, has noticed the same problem, both online and offline, and he’s trying to turn the observation to his advantage.
Dodd blames the media for the fluffy campaign coverage to date. “They say they talk about haircuts instead of troop cuts, song choices instead of energy choices, Paris [Hilton] instead of Baghdad because they say that’s what you want to talk about.” But he thinks Americans would rather talk about the war in Iraq — and his proposal to end it.
“Today we have the ability to bypass the traditional media filter by participating in discussions online, through blogs and YouTube, ensuring that the important issues get the real attention that they deserve in the 2008 presidential campaign,” Dodd told voters in his time in the YouTube Spotlight. He invited viewers to ask their senators what they think of Dodd’s plan, tape the responses and post them to YouTube.
