Politics Online: Tricky Terrain Candidates Wonder: Blessing Or Curse?
Excerpt:
"Illinois Sen. Barack Obama's three-minute explanation of why he opposes the Iraq war has been viewed nearly 70,000 times. New York Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton's three-minute description of her "road map out of Iraq" has had more than 38,000 hits.
YouChoose '08, a politics page launched by YouTube on March 1, is a quick way to see all the candidates' official videos. Former Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney, a Republican, has the most posted at 64.
Campaign advisers are effusive about the potential to talk directly to so many voters."The senator is our best messenger, and he can speak through unfiltered sources," said Hari Sevugan, Dodd's deputy communications director. "He can just look into the camera and say what he believes."
But there's a flip side to the Internet that makes campaigns shudder."
