"Sounds like a hacktivist to me! But given the ability of campaign operatives to "culture jack" democracy too with dirty tricks, I would still like to know who ParkRidge47 really is. Wouldn't you?" - i totally agree with you

So are you saying that in order to have a decent open ended conversation I need to get 100,000 videos. Excuse me but I create my own videos, I do not copy off of someone elses (Apples) also you have only posted one video and “Got Lucky” because someone allowed your video to be a response to theirs.
Do not think for a moment that you are any better then me. Your nothing more then a Liberal Fan-Boy. Who believes everything he watches on CNN.
Your refusal to post a response to my video shows your closed mindedness and weakness in your own stance.
I will be more then happy to carry on a discussion with you, but using obscenties as a weak attempt to scare me away holds no wait and lowers you to the sterotypical standard of well a Liberal.

The world will change only if our leaders consciously practice active compassion and kindness.Money and power are the motivators of a modern day leader all around the world. A leader must blend spirituality, science and humanism to bring about a radical and far reaching change that will alter the course of humanity and make our planet secure and life joyful. The leader should shed his ego and merge his consciousness with the people who made him a leader.

my opinion on vote different video

pv — Tue, 08 Apr 2008 13:06:03 -0400

The video vote different by ParkRidge47 is really interesting. I am also very inquisitive to know who has released this video. As you say this is definitely to initiate difference of opinion between Hillary and Obama. However, this is really very nice video and its worth the popularity that it has got!

ParkRidge47 is skilled, and probably liberal, but I’m not so sure he’s an operative in the sense that you are. Awareness of redstate and littlegreenfootballs means he reads KOS, or just surfs around the net like the rest of us.
t’s a much more egalitarian world in cyber space, but not to the extent that Marcus deserves a link back to his video, which is, uhhh, bad — like his grammar and spelling.
The two efforts aren’t comparable in any way. My 11-year old daughter produces more effective Power Point demos.avodart drug

I think that one end that this not functioning the rank amateur - as well video does not introduce simply speech Hillary's in square-wave block TV shown in point. Certainly, completely possible that anyone unconnected with any political operation could have these abilities.

A Small Percentage

Just6Dollars — Wed, 18 Apr 2007 11:34:31 -0400

However it's defined, online contributions count for just a small percentage of the total amount candidates raise. The contributions with the most cache and influence come in much larger amounts than individual online contributions. The only way American voters can "write a bigger check" is through public funding.

A Very Valid Debate

Michael Turk — Sun, 15 Apr 2007 14:55:25 -0400

Since the McCain campaign's success in 2000, the media has really looked at "online fundraising" as a type of fundraising separate and distinct from any other fundraising, and has given credit to candidates who are able to generate a lot of "online donations", but never ask exactly this question.

I have a lot of e-mail from people since I posted my critical exploration of Mitt's "online fundraising". Much of the e-mail I have received is critical of my view that driving your $2300 donors to give through the website instead of by check is not "online fundraising".

I tend to believe that direct mail, telemarketing, and your website generally attract the same donors. They're people who normally give small amounts, but may occasionally bring in a large $2300 donation. The RNC seems to agree, for the most part, as they have their finance shop divided into small dollar and major donor segments. A small dollar effort (like a mail piece) may prompt a large gift, but the bulk of the $2300 donations are done through personal solicitation, not online.

If I e-mail 500,000 people who are typically small donors, and a large gift comes in, I consider that a grassroots contribution.

Under the definition you've proposed, donations made in conjunction with something like Mitt's National Call Day would be an online contribution if they fulfilled through the website. These weren't calls to $25 donors. Meg Whitman, Matt Blunt and Bill Weld don't call $25 donors. Moreover, 400 people don't raise 6.5 million dollars (an average of 2000 per hour per caller) calling $25 donors.

Why, then, would we count those donations in the same way we do Obama's 50,000 "online donations"? Why would give those donations the same weight as an indicator of grassroots strength? It is demeaning to small donors and discourages their role in the process if we say their effort and the effort of fat-cat money men are in the same boat.

I'm tend to be a populist in the sense that I give a lot of small dollar donors as much or more political weight than a large donor. Both, to be sure, are critical to the success of a campaign (at least in today's environment), and the involvement of both is necessary to win. If we seek to measure whether a candidate is appealing to both, we cannot simply lump the two together in one aggregate number simply because they both used a website to give.

If we're going to define everything solicited or fulfilled online as an online donation, then, given the staggering number of variables your lists allow, we may as well not look at "online donations" and stick instead to itemized versus unitemized donors (which Romney, to his credit, also detailed).

Politubing entering main stream

Marisa — Thu, 22 Mar 2007 04:23:23 -0400

From the 10,000 foot level one of the aspects that gets lost in the heat of this story, is the tremendous impact these "politubers" (a term recently coined by a TubeMogul.com blog) will have on this election. The political campaign game rules have now forever been altered. This video is a brilliant example. Absolutely Phil's talents would be better served had it been more refined. But like him, there are many. This was bound to happen. The attention this story is getting will bring “politubing” to the main stream. By the next presidential campaign, "politubing" will be a more functional work of art. For now, candidates that embrace the power of this medium and adeptly guide their campaigns using this as a tool, will most likely reap the benefits.

The modern way

tedlaskaris — Thu, 22 Mar 2007 00:26:45 -0400

Phil de Vellis has been fired from his job, but I think he won't have trouble finding people who would want to employ his talents right away. The Internet is a route to many things, political and otherwise, including making career changes on the fly. As for the video itself, I thought it was a very good job indeed.

Mystery Solved

Kevin002 — Thu, 22 Mar 2007 00:06:36 -0400

Great Job, but I have this question , why did Obama say that he knew nothing about the Video and his camp had nothing to do with it ,when this guy is linked to the Obama Camp

It's not "new"

David All — Wed, 21 Mar 2007 23:37:09 -0400

...it's modern.

And yes, it is.

Blue State Digital's statement.

Statement from Thomas Gensemer, Managing Director, Blue State Digital

This afternoon, an employee at our firm, Phillip de Vellis, received a call from Arianna Huffington of "The Huffington Post" regarding the "1984" video currently circulating online. Initially, de Vellis refused to respond to her requests. He has since acknowledged to Blue State Digital that he was the creator of the video.

Pursuant to company policy regarding outside political work or commentary on behalf of our clients or otherwise, Mr. de Vellis has been terminated from Blue State Digital effective immediately.

Blue State Digital is under contract with the Obama Campaign for technology pursuits including software development and hosting. Additionally, one of our founding partners is on leave from the company to work directly for the campaign at headquarters.

However, Blue State Digital is not currently engaged in any relationship with the Obama Campaign for creative or non-technical services.

Mr. de Vellis created this video on his own time. It was done without the knowledge of management, and was in no way tied to his work at the firm or our formal engagement [on technology pursuits] with the Obama campaign.

I have spoken with David Plouffe, Sen. Obama's campaign manager, to inform him of this action and am appreciative of his understanding and ongoing support of our work.

We wish Mr. de Vellis well in his future endeavors.
