Tony, that’s what I’m saying. I want a candidate to use the internet (including video) to do more than just look great and charismatic. Aren’t you sick of being performed at? I want someone to connect with me on a real level and actually encourage my participation. How the hell do they expect to represent us if we can’t even talk to them?

Do you work for Brightcove? :p

While some politicians look great and charismatic on video, others …don’t.

John Edwards has been doing some online stuff via Scobleizer, not very charismatic in my opinion.

Great, slick player BTW. (esp. during the buttons that come up when you pause)

Fascinating stuff. See also http://netsquared.org/tags/video for some non-electoral political video stuff. Thanks for that link, Drew – good to find out about.

I think they have the right idea when it comes to politics and online video.

Yeah I’ve been watching some of those today. Still a bit rehearsed for my taste but getting there. I want to see the actual campaign process and I would love to see a bit more interaction – not just comments. As you can see, they’re not all that useful.
