Launch Candidate Faux Pas RemixThis is piece uses embedded Youtube videos to collect and present mistakes that the candidates made during the 2008 presidential primary campaign. A web page presents a cacophony of video clips of the candidates making mistakes along with later attempts to explain them away. Clips are arranged randomly on the web page. The piece focuses on how the attention and media coverage given to candidates' mistakes has often driven the campaign more than policy issues and has obscured substantive communication.
