The dedicated US Presidential elections YouTube channel “YouChoose” is flagging up a lot of interest in the aftermath of Super Tuesday as they offer the chance for Candidate and YouTubers from all over the US to add videos to their Google map allowing voters to scan for both local and national content.
“We want to show the nation and the world what the primaries are like from a voter’s-eye-view, so bring your video camera along with you and give an on-the-ground view of your local primary. You can also add your own commentary or interviews with people just after the primaries, offering their reflections on what took place.”
“we’re looking for videos as varied and creative as you can create. Here are some other ideas:
- Interviews with voters from your state about their political opinions, experiences, and stories.
- Video containing your OWN political opinions, experiences, and stories.
- Interviews with other voters (young and old) who’ve voted in primaries past.
- Predictions for who will prevail in this year’s primary battle.
- Your analysis of American politics overall.
- Songs, poems, raps or interpretive dances that demonstrate the glorious (or not-so-glorious) nature of American politics today.”
