Rahm Emanuel Announces Chicago Mayoral Campaign on YouTube

Rahm Emanuel
To announce his campaign for Chicago mayor, former White House chief of staff Rahm Emanuel took a page from his former boss's digital campaign playbook, and went directly to YouTube.

In a video posted to his campaign website, Emanuel casually announced his candidacy from behind a desk, and divulged a few more details about his upcoming 'Tell It Like It Is' campaign tour. "As I prepare to run for mayor, I'm going to spend the next few weeks visiting our neighborhoods – at grocery stores, L stops, bowling alleys, and hot dog stands," the outspoken politician says. In choosing to announce his campaign on the website, Rahm may very well be targeting the younger, more connected members of his constituency -- as if dropping awkward f-bombs didn't rally us enough.
