Republican Party Teams With YouTube for Promotion

The GOP is teaming with YouTube to send one lucky amateur videographer to the Republican convention in St. Paul, Minn., this September. A red banner complete with the traditional Republican elephant is on the YouTube home page touting the contest. Grove says he isn’t concerned about the perception of having a Republican presence on the home page without equal representation from the Democrats. “We don’t worry. We actually strategize about it,” he says. The GOP initiated the contest, according to Grove, and there are active discussions with both parties for more initiatives tying into the nominating conventions.

And obviously YouTube is no stranger to politics, as the “YouTube moment” has arguably changed political discourse in America. The gotcha videos of candidates or their surrogates “misspeaking,” “misremembering” and simply making a “mistake” are vast, varied and available in perpetuity.
