DODD CAMPAIGN LAUNCHES D-TV
LiveStreaming Video to Provide Unprecedented Window into Campaign
WASHINGTON - Today the Chris Dodd for President Campaign unveiled D-TV, a multi-channel window into the campaign. Building on the success of last month's New Hampshire Debate coverage, D-TV will promote further interaction between supporters and Dodd staff through streaming video of the campaign headquarters, interactive opportunities with the campaign and videos of Senator Dodd.
"With D-TV we are able to use groundbreaking technology to interact with supporters not just in the primary states, but also in voter's homes," said internet strategist Tim Tagaris. "D-TV will give viewers a chance to see what exactly happens in the day to day operations of our staff and provide them with an unprecedented ability to engage in interactive discussions with our campaign."
Dodd continues to lead the Presidential candidates in discovering new, innovative ways to interact with voters, both on the ground and online. The campaign has been praised for its Talk Clock which monitored the amount of time each candidate received in the recent CNN debates in New Hampshire. Jeff Jarvis of the Washington Post's Channel 08 claims Dodd "has been more open and expansive with his Internet video strategy than most of the candidates."
Most recently, Dodd's YouTube Spotlight video has garnered attention for fully involving viewers in the political process, by calling their Senators and Congressmen and asking them to support the Dodd Amendment to end the war in Iraq. One prominent blogger at Daily Kos praised the approach, arguing that Dodd is "basing his campaign pitch on his own action (the amendment) and on inviting interaction, all aimed at getting the US out of Iraq. That's leadership."
