Web ad? What ever happened to TV ads? You know, the ones people other than the choir actually watch?
Lol... I love the Jon Stewart clip. I wish they would cut this down to 1 minute and run it on TV. These are some big gaffe's by the Democrats that need to be publicized.
The WH probably wouldn't approve this clip, seeing as she's the new "First sis-in-law"
bttt.
Ping.
I must pass it to everyone I know...and don't know (meaning those at DU).
Viva la republic!
he he awesome
Here is a great new web ad put out by the RNC.
There's no existing computer system that could handle this sort of load. :)
bttt
btt
Damn
The Republicans are fighting back!
Excellant Video!
Nice start, but a Web ad? Who's going to see that except for a few political junkies?
Get serious, RNC. Run a network ad. And I don't mean Fox.
Millions of activists are E-mailed these web ads. I have one in my inbox. These activists show these ads to their friends, Co-workers and neighbors. These ads are picked up by the media when Dems object.
This was a very effective way of getting the message out to the American people during the election. Through grassroots and provoking Dems to respond.
"Get serious, RNC. Run a network ad. And I don't mean Fox."
It is disappointing. I want people to see it and it isn't going to be seen by anyone except Republicans on the web.
I disagree. They're simply entertainment for the base. I guess that does serve some purpose. But even if a few middle-of-the-roaders see them, a 14-inch computer screen simply doesn't have the same effect as a TV screen in your living room. And I don't think that many people see them, except people like us who are looking for them.
I'm not sure what you are disagreeing with.
My statements are fact.
The RNC has a very large list of activists to contact.
Those contacted show these to others.
MSM/Dems pick up these web ads and react spreading the message through their own circulations.
This was done during the campaign.
It is fact, not opinion.
All of this is an inside loop among the most politically interested and committed. The most important thing is to reach the uninterested and uncommitted and change the way they see things. These ads don't do that. The people we need to reach are not going to watch a political Web ad on a neighbor's monitor. The fact that it may happen now and then doesn't mean that it happens often. I just think your view of this is really naive.
