Great use of the internet (4.00 / 1)

So glad to see the MDP making good use of this resource. We'll be sharing this with our membership list in our county and urging them to submit questions for future podcasts.

No skateboarding bulldogs, not guys in gorilla suits... (4.00 / 2)

No guys in rainbow wigs juggling flaming bowling pins, no cigarette-smoking chimpanzees, not even someone in a pirate outfit ordering lunch at Long John Silvers.

I'm sorry, but until I see Democratic vlogs embrace these kinds of critical YouTube components, I cannot say that the party has really embraced the intertubes.

Come on, guys, splice in a little Shatner doing his spoken-word "Rocketman" thing.
