A just-defunct campaign ad

We’ve already told you that U.S. Rep. Jack Kingston of Savannah lost his bid this month to become House Republican conference chairman, an influential leadership post even if the party is now in the minority.

But we’ve neglected to point you to his campaign ad for the race, a video e-mailed to GOP members of Congress. Kingston is ever the new media guru.

“I do this because so many of you haven’t been returning my phone calls anyhow, and it saves all of us a little time,” Kingston begins in the video. The planks of his platform: the return to a unified message for House Republicans, harkening back to 1994’s Contract with America, and a shift in financial strategy.

“Let’s be realistic. the K Street money is going to drift away from us. We’ve got to get back to grassroots fund-raising,” he said.
