The Palin McCain Ticket

Sarah Palin has generated a remarkable political credit. She is endorsing John McCain for the Senate seat in Arizona. She is now playing a major role in Republican and Tea Party politics, and definitely someone to look out for in elections to come.  Below you can watch a video from the McCain campaign where Sarah Palin reunites with John McCain in Tucson and Mesa to rally Arizonans and endorse his re-election to the United States Senate. You can also read an Op-Ed article by the Governor in the Arizona Republic, arguing "A desire to serve defines McCain". 


Browsing through the coverage of Palin and McCain I came across this very interesting video from the Daily Show. You can see the approach that Jon Stewart takes and see the differences in these two videos. Same footage, different angles.

You can also look at the J.D. Hayworth's campaign for the Senate seat in Arisona; current polls show that he is closing in on John McCain.
In the video below, from J.D. Hayworth, Sen. McCain is heard saying that he is confident that the people of Arizona will judge me on not what Ive done for them, but what they think I can do for them. Most politicians who have spent as many years in the U.S. Senate as McCain would be expected to run on their record not their potential.

Iranian elections, so what?

There has been so much press coverage on the fallout after the Iranian elections, and most of it coming from social media sources, YouTube, twitter, facebook, Blogs etc. What I don't understand is that: Did people in Iran just woke up to their reality? They are living in a totalitarian state, under the dictatorship of a religious figure (Ali Khamenei), citizens are afraid to talk openly, and always need to be anonymous in case someone from the state comes knocking at their door. So, did some people in Iran just woke up? Why did they have to wait for an election to protest and express their concerns? If the system is corrupt and biased towards the population now, then it must have been like this before the elections! I did also manage to watch some of the press conferences by the Iranian State representative, but I have not seen anything from the Mousavi campaign. Why doesn't the Mousavi campaign have a daily press briefing? Why doesn't Mousavi go on an Interview with a ...

John Kerry and Digital Diplomacy

John Kerry delivered his first remarks as the new U.S. Secretary of State. In his first speech at the State Department, he noted :  "...We get to talk about empowering people through our ideals, and through those ideals hopefully they can change their lives..." This is really important to underline;  given that public diplomacy now has a much more crucial role to play. In utilising new and social media, people now have the opportunity to engage through digital diplomacy.  As Under Secretary of State for Public Diplomacy and Public Affairs Tara Sonenshine has said :  "...we have to introduce more and more virtual exchanges and the use of social media particularly to reach young people where they are..." Secretary Kerry Tours the Ops Center Also, I came across a tweet from the State Department which informed that #SecKerry will be tweeting from the  +U.S. Department of State  twitter account . #SecKerry will start tweeting fr...

Twitter mistakes in Political Communications

A recent tweet from President Obama... stated : President Obama urges Congress to pass the infrastructure section of the American Jobs Act now. Listen live: http://wh.gov/live I have seen this in many tweets from politicians that have communications staffers operate their Social Media presence. This tweet is absolutely wrong! Barack Obama says: "President Obama urges Congress..." instead of writing "I urge Congress..." the copywriter wrote a tweet as if he/she is writing on their personal account. Clearly a big Social Media mistake.. P.S. IAB!
