Get Active: Why are You a Republican in 2008?

Why are you a Republican in 2008? It's a very good question, one I couldn't hope to explain if I were one. If you are a Republican in 2008, you now have the opportunity to answer in your own YouTube video.

The spokesman in this video looks like a typical "old white dude" style Republican, with the shelf of (dubiously natural) hair, dry delivery, and disingenuous labelling of the Republican National Convention as "exciting." He's a very natural fit with John McCain, who despite the mainstream press love affair is far from exciting. Still, if McCain is you're guy, and you're excited about him, why not post a video?
