Good news for armchair political strategists - you too can be a professional media strategist for Congressional Republicans!

That's right, the National Republican Congressional Committee - the political arm of the United States House of Representatives Republican Conference - is looking for a few good media strategists to help them craft television spots that will be used in the 2008 elections campaign.

Here is how Washington, DC-based newspaper Roll Call reports on the NRCC's appeal for amateur talent to help them win back control of the United States House of Representatives:

The National Republican Congressional Committee has launched a contest asking GOP activists from across the country to help the committee craft a message it can use to hit the Democrats.

Phase one of the contest involved development of a “new media” slogan describing, as the Republicans see it, the Democrats’ failed record since they assumed control of Congress following the 2006 elections. The slogan chosen as the winner in that contest: “Has the Democratic Congress worked for you?”

Phase two, which runs through Nov. 25, involves a contest to find the best Internet video ad to be used by the NRCC and played on YouTube. The video must be based on the slogan chosen in the first contest.

“We are always getting feedback from supporters across the country. A lot of them are just plain fed up with the direction the Democrats are moving this country,” said Josh Shultz, communications director of new media at the NRCC. “It’s a perfect opportunity for the American people to creatively express their frustrations with the Democratic Congress.”
