NJ 5th Dist: Paul Aronsohn seeking Internet buzz (great YouTube ad)

[EarlG]

Crossposted from GDP:

Democrat Paul Aronsohn is using a Madison Avenue technique in his bid to oust Republican Scott Garrett from the 5th Congressional District: Internet word-of-mouth advertising where a catchy message can spread exponentially.

The camp is creating and distributing ads specifically for YouTube.com, the video file sharing site, hoping to mobilize key constituencies that might support the Democrat's bid for office.

This week, an Aronsohn ad that highlights his rival's opposition to abortion, will land in the inbox of New Jersey's 14,000 members of the National Abortion Rights Action League.

The goal is to create a buzz around the Aronsohn campaign among those who support abortion rights, say NARAL officials who have agreed to distribute the YouTube spot to their membership.

Arohnsohn's opponent, incumbent Scott Garrett, is apparently running as a social moderate. The YouTube video suggests otherwise :)

1. Thanks for posting this Earl

Paul Aronsohn has shown no real interest in getting any DFA endorsements. While Stender (NJ7,) Gay (NJ04), Wyka (NJ11)have. His people dont seem to travel in the same circles as I do... NJ Dem Progressive caucus, DFA, Anti War, Vets, etc. meetings.

I can't see the GDP thread.

Thanks, Earl

I posted about this earlier, though. Yours looks better.

3. But when will

Mr. Garrett answer the nagging questions about his background and personal history? His connections to questionable subcultures rasie questions that he doesn't want to answer. If the people knew about these questionable connections whold the still vote for him. It's time for Garrett to come clean and and turnon the light in the closet so the good people of his district can make an informed decision.
