Today's viral video, coupled with what we learned from Helen Thomas' man-on-the-street interview a week or so ago, is a good reminder that if someone sticks a camera in your face on the sidewalk, it's good for your career to keep walking:

The Congressman should put this own his campaign website, with the caption: "Fighting for YOU in Washington." If this is going viral anyhow, why not have it have it go viral on you campaign website?
Well played, Bob Moffitt!!!
I have a client, Renee Ellmers, running against this guy. Renee Ellmers is doing very well on the donation front today.
Give me a break. The kids deserved it. Isn't the start of an interview, "Hi my name is Bob Collins and I'm with MPR..." non-negotiable?
Yes the kid acted inappropriately, but you should NEVER touch anyone.
