We told you yesterday about a new federal political action committee, Building a Better PA, which is now running television commercials supporting state Rep. Brendan Boyle's bid for the open 13th District U.S. House seat.
We told you yesterday about a new federal political action committee, Building a Better PA, which is now running television commercials supporting state Rep. Brendan Boyle's bid for the open 13th District U.S. House seat.
Building a Better PA is an independent expenditure organization, which means it can raise and spend unlimited funds as long as it does not coordinate with a candidate's campaign. The PAC uses in the commercials some of the video Boyle, a Northeast Philly Democrat, made publicly available on his campaign YouTube channel.
That reminded us of a hilarious March 13 The Daily Show bit, where host Jon Stewart made fun of U.S. Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell, a Kentucky Republican. Stewart, noting that McConnell had made publicly available "b-roll" campaign video of himself, asked his viewers to edit in their own music and share it via the hashtag #McConnelling.
See the Daily Show video for a tutorial on this. And here's a collection of top #McConnelling examples compiled by Buzzfeed.
PhillyClout is calling for entries, to be hashtagged on Twitter as #BrendanBoyleing. Show us what you've got.
