AirCongress is webcasting daily snapshots from HotlineTV, a YouTube channel produced by Chuck Todd from the National Journal. Yesterday, Todd and senior editor John Mercurio discussed the chances that Rudy Giuliani will run for president. “There’s a track record here. He ran for the Senate in 2000. He got into the race for all intents and purposes and then got out,” said Mercurio. But, said Todd, “Rudy has been doing little things every day to look more and more like a candidate, and this is yet another little thing. … He’s doing as many things as Mitt Romney.” (via AirCongress)

Why is the McCain Campaign reaching out to Daily Kos?

When gas prices skyrocketed last year, so too did Google searches for “hybrid car,” “solar panel,” and “cfl.”

In the 2008 election cycle, the Obama campaign may have won the most accolades for its online campaign strategy -- but it was the team behind McCain’s campaign who out-Googled the competition from the start. (Though as Wired and others noted, it wasn’t long before other politicians caught on.)

Join us this Thursday, June 11th at the PdF Network, where internet strategist Eric Frenchman will share lessons learned from the McCain campaign's online ad program, for which he and his team won the American Association of Political Consultants’ award for Best Use of New Technology.

To join the call (and get the opportunity to pose your questions directly to Eric), you’ll need to join the PdF Network.
