Via Colin at ePolitics as well as all my hometown folks in Pittsburgh, I learned about the League of Young Voters Video Voter Guide.. Voter guides are among the oldest tools in the advocacy repertoire. Properly offered, they can give potential voters the information they need to make a decision at the polls, but they aren't viewed as campaign products because candidates on all sides of the political spectrum get to participate if they want. I frown on video often because I feel it's used gratuitously and have trouble imagining a lot of ordinary folks choosing to watch an unnecessary video on their computer. These give viewers a chance to meet a political candidate, and that's a truly worthwhile enterprise.
