User-Generated YouTube Draft Bloomberg Videos Are Multiplying, But Dull
No offense to the makers, but I seriously hope that the user-generated Draft Bloomberg videos on YouTube are going to get a lot more creative. Here's the second tepid "suggested ad" from a person identifying him/herself as mathersly from Toronto, Canada, posted this afternoon.
There also are 13 ho hum videos about Bloomberg by a YouTube user named frankiegoestohlywod
I'm very curious what your readers thing about these voter generated videos and what we can do to improve them?

I'm a huge Bloomberg fan, but these ads do NOTHING to get me excited about him as a candidate. Any of these strategies would work better than what I've seen so far:
- Talk about ONE success he's achieved as mayor, and make that an example of what he could do as President
- Have fun with the fact he's been both a Dem and a Republican
- Be honest about the country's lack of enthusiasm for other candidates and offer Bloomberg up as a solution
