DEL.ICIO.USGuerrilla tactics on YouTube: Cardwell shows what he could do if he had money, Lanier puts words under Chambliss’ mouth
The Atlanta Journal-Constitution
Georgia’s Democratic five candidates for Senate have little time before the July 15 primary and less money — which has them chasing voters in nooks and crannies that are often out of sight.
But former TV journalist Dale Cardwell is back on YouTube today, with 30 seconds of what he’d like to put on TV — if he could afford it. Cardwell says more spots are on the way.
Even Republican incumbent Saxby Chambliss is playing on YouTube, committing segments of many of his appearances to online video. Earlier this week, he released a direct-to-voter video that blamed Democrats for $4-a-gallon gas.
Democratic rival Josh Lanier of Statesboro took that video and, in an attempt at guerrilla advertising, added his own counterargument — Colbert-like — beneath Chambliss’ visage. At least it’s a time-saver. You can absorb both messages at once:

When did Cardwell come down from his pole? Don’t remember seeing that … figured he was still up there.

If we could somehow tap into the gas inside Saxby’s head, it would cut prices significantly…or is he drunk?

Hey I like this Lanier guy. Not only does he have a sense of humor, but he uses a current medium to turn Shameless’ own words against him.

Chambli$$ solution to energy crisis -support Bush invasion of Iraq. How has that worked out at the gas pump?
But he did vote against better mileage for SUV’s - don’t touch my Truck Nutz!
