The lessons from politics

(Posted by francois to: interesting links )

The political world keeps bringing us interesting lessons in strategy and communications. Take the latest 1984 Clinton attack ad on YouTube as an example:

Who is trying to change the playing field, or the "relative value" of the players in this game? Is it truly an outside amateur, or one of the two players in questions, or a third player from within the democratic field or the republican field?

Also interesting to see how it took almost 10 days to get picked up by the mainstream media...diffusion of ideas at work...now with almost 1.5M views.

[03/23 update] The culprit was a designer who worked at the firm that designed the Obama web site
