Here's an interesting, tech-savvy tactic to spur favorable coverage of the 2008 Republican National Convention… the RNC sent out an e-mail blast Wednesday offering a free trip to the big event and a day in presumptive GOP presidential nominee Sen. John McCain's press pool to the winner of a Web video contest.
The deadline is Friday for contestants to upload a clip to the GOP convention's YouTube page describing "why you are a Republican in 2008?" Submissions must be less than two minutes. The public will select one out of five finalists next week and the producer of the winning segment will get a three-day trip to the convention in Minneapolis-Saint Paul, Minn., where their video will be shown.
