Dems Flock to YouTube to Support Obama
Friday, August 29, 2008
This week at the Democratic National Convention in Denver, delegates, party leaders, celebrities, and voters from every state in the nation gathered to officially nominate their candidate for President. YouTube, an official partner with the Convention, was on the scene with an upload booth that captured the thoughts of hundreds of diverse and enthusiastic Democrats. There was the woman who
sang an ode to Barack Obama
, a couple of Alaskan fisherwomen who
applauded his efforts to protect our natural resources
, and military veterans who
gave their own reasons for supporting Obama
. Here's a full set of highlights from the "I nominate Barack Obama because…" series:
In addition, party and political leaders – among them
Governor Mark Warner
,
Senator Harry Reid
,
Governor Bill Richardson
,
Governor Brian Schweitzer
,
Mayor Gavin Newsom
, and
Congresswoman Tammy Baldwin
– and celebrities like
John Legend
,
Charles Barkley
, and
Louis Gossett Jr.
took the opportunity to speak directly to the YouTube community and/or to talk about why they are nominating Obama. Their videos, and a whole lot more, including
Senator Obama's acceptance speech
, are available on the DNCC's YouTube channel.
Stay tuned next week as we head to Minneapolis/St. Paul to catch all of the proceedings on the Republican side and to hear why that Convention's attendees feel equally excited about their candidate, Senator John McCain.
Yours,
Steve G.
