Re: 2012 U.S. Presidential Election
Funny thing is, with those on the left and Perry's own opponents on the right, going after the video so feverishly. They are just giving the video free advertisement. Instead of letting it sink into the either with all the other campaign videos out right now. It gives Perry tons more advertisement, and reaches out to even more voters.

I don't really buy this. A video of Perry screaming "FUCKING MEXICANS" into a microphone 50 times with Nyan Cat playing in the background would generate ten times as much publicity as this video but I doubt that would help his campaign.Originally Posted by Roy Karrde

That would constitute more of a meltdown video, like we saw of Howard Dean, this however is more of a campaign message, not a meltdown video, aimed at middle class families, and religious voters. One obviously is a video the campaign wouldnt want to get out, the other isn't. To put it another way, the more attention the left gives this video, the greater the chance the people who are the target audience for this video see it, and embrace it.
In politics the usual rule of thumb for campaign videos is not to give your opponent free advertisement. The left is doing that for Perry, giving him free advertisement. They may disagree with his message, but in the end the campaign video will reach even more voters, many of which it is designed exactly for, than it would have with out the left going ape shit over it. And the Perry campaign does not have to spend a dime.
