Republican Flip-Floppers Get YouTubed

Update: Over at the Rock the Vote blog, Lindsey B. notes that the video was created by Lon Seidman, YDA member and former campaign manager to Joe Courtney. I guess they know very well the power of young Dems to swing elections in the state.

The Young Democrats of Connecticut show everyone how its done. Not only did they make some creative user-generated content that shed light on a policy issue highly relevant to young voters, but they got the story to jump into the mainstream media where it was covered on Connecticut TV news, in local newspapers and blogs.





I love the quote from Republican Larry Cafero: "I was in favor of the concept. I voted yes, I ran into a meeting in the backroom, came back, said "oh my god I vote green!" I ran back, changed it red." Three men in a smoke-filled room, anyone?

I'm curious about the 14 Democrats who voted "no" or didn't vote at all. The bill only fell 9 votes short. CT YDA should do something similar to apply pressure to those Democrats to vote the right way next time. After Joe Courtney's victory in CT - which was primarily youth-fueled - they probably have the muscle to do that.
