Politics 2.0 is Closer Than You Think

Two pieces of news just sort of jumped out at me today:

(1) Dick DeVos, who is running for Governer in Michigan, just announced the winner of a video contest they were running on their website. The DeVos campaign invited site visitors to make their own political ads in support of DeVos, giving a video iPod to the winner.

Fantastic idea. If you watch the videos you'll see the power and weakness of this concept. The quality is all over the board.

(2) Business Week online has a great story on the use of Web 2.0 by European political candidates. Most interestingly, British Conservative Party leader David Cameron has a video blog.
