Porkopolis has posted links to a campaign video by Republican underdog Senate candidate Bill Pierce. It’s a clear vision of why he’s running for Senate. I like the new media tactics he’s employing to overcome the lack of money. He also did MTB last month.
I think that Congressional candidates should check it out. In the smaller venue of a House district something like that can have a much greater impact. BE THE MEDIA. Never before have candidates had so many options to get their message out.

I could not agree more.
If done right, the New Media tactics could remove incumbents’ money advantages completely.
Of course it depends on peoples’ willingness to open their mail (if sent out as a DVD/CD in appealing packaging), but it’s a great counter to TV ads, which may be getting to the point where people just tune them out the moment they realize it’s political (and of course there’s Tivo, yada yada).
I think you need to fix your NYT link:
