Essentially, funded smear campaign videos actually backed by candidate funds, but under the guise of user-generated content.

I think most are honest. . .but there will always be that suspicion. @cybogloblin - it's not complex, just clever. sadly it doesn't have to be either before it hits the internet @pepster - that was something I forgot to mention.

Aside from getting a copy of the sheet music for the song, you could pull off the rest of it with a college drama class.

You only have to look at the response to MoveOn.org's latest competition, 'Obama in 30 seconds', to see how popular this medium is becoming.
