No other candidate has yet responded. </p> <p><strong>Jeff Jarvis</strong> <a href="http://prezvid.com/2007/03/03/53/">responds</a> to an <a href="http://techpresident.com/node/116#comment-140">article</a> in the <a href="http://www.politico.com/">Politico</a> by techPresident's Micah Sifry and Andrew Rasiej in which they compare the presidential candidates' use of video to the online videos of British MP David Cameron <a href="http://www.webcameron.org.uk/">webcameron</a>, in which the head of the Conservative party posts disarming and off-the-cuff videos that take place in his kitchen, on work trips, or anywhere else he happens to be. Compared to Cameron, Jarvis calls John McCain's videos "overproduced" and "overlong"; "Obama is spending too much time showing himself in front of big crowds and too little time just talking to us... Hillary is more casual but not candid. Yet they are all reveling in their ablity to make their own soundbites instead of being subject to the clipping whims of some network TV news editor." </p> <p><a href="http://www.techpresident.com/blog/entry/118/daily_digest_3_5_07">read more</a></p> http://www.techpresident.com/blog/entry/118/daily_digest_3_5_07#comment Bill Richardson blogging Elizabeth Edwards Eventful Jeff Jarvis Joe Bide John Edwards Mitt Romney Newt Gingrich YouTube Mon, 05 Mar 2007 10:25:49 -0500 Joshua Levy 118 at http://www.techpresident.com
