William Beutler of Blog P.I. has a nice update/analysis of Mitt Romney's jump in to the YouTube pool.

What I find most interesting is that Mitt's eGuy, Stephen Smith, left a comment on Beutler's post which tells me two things: 1. Smith is paying attention to what people are saying about his guy. 2. Smith has been given "permission" to be a "spokesblogger" for the campaign.

Both of these ingredients tell me that Mitt's communications team truly understands the nature of the sphere and the importance of being an active contributor in it. After all, if there's a discussion, might as well be a part of it.

William, an impressive summary. You’re right … I have watched them all but I’m glad I’m not the only one. Make sure to watch for Governor Romney’s responses by the end of his week in the spotlight.

If you somehow missed it, here's Mitt's YouTube video. And three responses worth watching: Me, Jeff Jarvis of PrezVid, and James Kotecki, a.k.a. EmergencyCheese.

PostPolitical has some thoughts worth noting.
