Election 2008 Campaigns Hit the Airwaves

Posted by Amy J. Ruiz on Thu, May 8 at 11:56 AM

There are more campaign videos and podcasts, plus official tv and radio ads, than I can keep up with. Here are a few that have crossed my desk in the last few days.

Jim Middaugh has both a radio ad and a campaign video (with a cameo by the Mercury’s own Matt Davis).

Listen to the radio ad here.

His video is posted on their site, but I tossed it on YouTube to make it more blog friendly (hope he doesn’t mind!) found their blip.tv link.

In the other race for city council, Chris Smith has been posting “Conversations with Chris” on his website. They’re good, showcasing what he does best—know a lot about an issue, and talk about it smartly. Here’s the one about sustainability:

John Branam has a radio ad on his website. (It’s not blog-able. Is that a word?)

(P.S. — those two candidates, plus Mike Fahey, Amanda Fritz, Jeff Bissonnette, and Charles Lewis, will appear on stage together for City Club’s Friday Forum tomorrow at noon at the Governor Hotel.)

matt's kinda cute, for a sheep killa.

Rob Milesnick, running for Multnomah County Commissioner, has a campaign video posted on his website (www.robforcounty.org) as well as on YouTube (http://youtube.com/watch?v=Xb1brP8McLE).

I appreciate the constant informative updates on the elections, but this new hussy in the Spartacus ads is making all of these Blogtown posts NSFW.

Ugh. Did Middaugh really tell that voter "I'm prepared to start on day one"?
