Hey, a little fun on the web from Washington State Republicans. They cover the gambit, even catching 5 minutes of the incumbent A.G. Rob McKenna talking about the new primary system in Washington State. From SeattlePI:
The words flash onscreen over earnest rock guitar: “I sometimes ask myself … Why am I a REPUBLICAN?? … But then I realize … I am SOOO not a Democrat.”
A slide show kicks in, set to Gnarls Barkley’s “Crazy”: images of the Clintons, peace activists, abortion rights protesters, Sean Penn.
“Are you really one of them?” the clip asks. “I didn’t think so.”
The online video and others like it — including an interview series that, despite the name “Republican on the Street,” is somewhat less partisan — are the efforts of MoveRed.org, a mobilizing group for young conservatives sponsored by the King County Republican Party. With an emphasis on social-networking and new media channels, MoveRed.org courts young Republicans and potential converts ready to “join the (R)esurgence” of conservatism.
