Check it, I was quoted several times in this Athens Banner-Herald article about 10th District YouTube videos. Here’s my favorite part:

One, posted by Tanton at www.radicalgeorgiamoderate.com, even attacks Whitehead’s skills as a football player. On the campaign trail, Whitehead often references his days as a University of Georgia lineman in the early 1960s, even recruiting legendary announcer Larry Munson to narrate a radio advertisement, but Tanton used information from UGA’s athletic department to show that he earned only one varsity letter in three years on mediocre teams.

Aside from the URL being wrong, that totally made me LOL. From my conversation with Blake Aued, the reporter, I got the impression that one struck a nerve with a few Banner-Herald staffers. I suspect a few of them probably have had to listen to that old fart drone on-and-on about his days as the “Big Dog” more than a few times.

Something you might notice about the Banner-Herald web site: they actually embed the YouTube videos in the sidebar. In a news article! The AJC doesn’t even let their reporters embed YouTube videos on their blogs. So we have yet another example where a smaller regional paper is kicking the AJC’s teeth in in understanding new media/social media/eMedia/your buzzword here. Kudos to the Banner-Herald for that.

You’ll see just about every 10th District-related video I remember there, including both of the Street Committee’s ads, the weak (but kind of funny) Republican one trying to tie Democrat James Marlow to the Chinese government, another with a similar theme I hadn’t seen before, and one called Whitehead Amnesty that I think is the most effective one so far. There’s also a bizarre music video thrown in at the end for “Liberals that We Can’t Stand.”

I’m off to register a redirect for radicalgeorgiamoderate.com now.
