So, as most everybody knows, the immigration bill reared it's head in the Senate yet again this week. Personally, I think this a great legislative debate, as you have President Bush and Ted Kennedy on the same side of an issue. That doesn't happen very often, or does it...

Anyways, I found this interesting piece on YouTube, and thought I'd share. It's simple, almost boring, yet has a powerful message. So far, the video has over 9,400 views, which isn't bad considering it was posted yesterday.

I'm particularly interested in the interplay between policy and elections.

So, here are a few questions, I asked myself and thought i would pose to our readers.

Can an internet video focused on a specific policy issue, negatively influence donations/support to a candidate/campaign committee?

If so, is this a tactic our candidates should employ?

Can the strategy work in reverse?

What do you think...
