I really don’t care much, only becuase I expect them to be on there best behavior anyway. But part of me wants to know these guys in office better. Maybe a reality show on a Senator would be good idea instead.

Considering John Ensign is my senator, yes. Thanks for making it easy, Erick.

Wasting bandwidth.

If one search is equivalent to 7g of carbon, these videos are like driving SUVs. Stop killing earth.

[...] Buradaki yazıyı okuyunca bir türk olarak aklımıza şu soru geliyor. Bizde siyasetçiler acaba ne zaman interneti kullanmayı deneyecekler.

As Steven’s already mentioned : do most people actually care ?
Yeah so your senator’s on you tube and now you can watch his ugly mug on the internet as well as on the television.
Hurray!

This would be worthwhile if they could do it right. But even Obama’s VLOG ChangeDotGov on YT is losing viewership, I think primarily because it’s no longer intimate. The policy videos are pretty good with staff and those have real insight into how the transition is going.

But the political teleprompted speeches lack a sense of natural connection and presence we see with a good Vlog.

Or maybe what they really need is a wonderbra adorned Russian girl reading the speeches and calling their constituents “my honies.”
