Candidate Spotlight: Ron Paul

Wednesday, August 15th, 2007

Ron Paul’s official website can be found at RonPaul2008.com.
This commercial was posted on CR Nation when it was first released, but it is still my favorite Ron Paul ad.

Ron Paul has a Facebook profile and more than 19,000 supporters. (According to Facebook, Congressman Paul celebrates his 72nd birthday Monday. Happy early birthday!) The Facebook group, […]

Candidate Spotlight: Fred Thompson

Wednesday, August 8th, 2007

Fred Thompson’s official website can be found at www.imwithfred.com.
Since Fred isn’t a declared candidate, he obviously has not run campaign commercials. Of the political videos that Fred has released so far, my favorite is his response to Michael Moore several months ago.

The Giuliani campaign has not run television ads yet. However, this YouTube video promotes the Students for Giuliani coalition.

Rudy’s official Facebook group is “Students for Giuliani,” and has more than 1,500 members. The group has a website, www.studentsforgiuliani.com, which contains a mission statement, ways to get involved […]

Candidate Spotlight: John McCain

Once a week, I will profile a candidate, starting with those running for president. This will focus on the candidate’s website, my favorite YouTube video of that candidate (in a good way), their Facebook group (if applicable) and CRs that are publicly supporting them. Most of all, I want this to be a way for […]
