I'm literally beside myself.

Virginia Republican Congressman Eric Cantor, a member of the House Leadership and a rock solid conservative, has just broken exciting new ground with this "choose your own adventure" video.

In an email shipped out from the Cantor communications office, they said the following:

To coincide with today's Ways and Means hearing on carried interest, we launched a new web feature at cantor.house.gov to help bring attention to the debate.

It's an interactive film, which allows you to join in on an adventure to discover who is responsible for threatening our economy and hopefully learn more about the important debate over carried interest that is happening to day on the Hill.

To our knowledge, this is the first time anything like this has been done in politics; so, we're excited to hear your feedback on the project.

Brad Dayspring, Republican Study Committee communications director, followed up with a solid blog post explaining the issue and noting Cantor's smart use of online, interactive video.

As one of the co-authors of the Open House Project, a citizen-drafted report on how Congress can make a smarter, better use of technology to better communicate with their constituents, I'm pleased to see Congressman Cantor (and his team) taking risks and being creative.

And the best part is that this video is just the beginning. We look forward to seeing more.
