Pretty cool, the Webb campaign was just awarded a gold, silver and bronze medal in the 2007 Pollie Awards. What are the Pollies? According to the American Association of Political Consultants (AAPC):
The Pollie Awards are the national showcase for political and public affairs excellence hosted each year by the AAPC. The focus of the Pollies rotates each year between the political and public affairs fields, with this year's Pollies recognizing achievements in the political field.
Anyway, the Webb campaign won a Gold medal for a radio ad by a U.S. Senate candidate. The ad featured Cooter Jones, and was produced by Joe Stanley, in conjunction with Mudcat Saunders, Cooter and GMMB. Listen here. Nice work, guys!
Webb for Senate also won both silver AND bronze for "Best Use of YouTube" on the Macaca video. Bizarrely, "Macaca" was beaten out for Gold by something called "See Dick Run." Personally, after about 30 seconds of "See Dick Run," I was ready to hurl (that VOICE, make it STOP!!!!). But just like the Oscars, the best don't always win...
Way to go Webb campaign!
