Text "DINO" Baby
For all you Democrats still waiting by your phones, hoping Barack Obama will send you a text message, here's some good news. Dino Rossi is ready to catch you on the rebound.
Obama’s text message stunt that would have announced his running mate might have turned out to be an abysmal failure. But the gambit is now being used by Republican Dino Rossi as another way to get his message out to a wider spectrum of voters.
The new tactic should be particularly popular with Washington motorists chafing over the state's ban on cell phone use while driving.
By texting the word “DINO” on your cell phone to 99222, you can “join the Rossi texting network to receive periodic campaign updates”, news about the election and when the GOP candidate is hitting the club scene in Belltown.
“We’re excited to have one more way to expand this citizens’ movement to change Washington,” said Dino Rossi. “Through the innovative use of this widely used technology, my hope is to reach out to young people and text-messagers of all ages who really want to be connected to our campaign. This will be the fastest way to communicate with the people on the ground, no matter where they are.”
Rossi has incorporated many of the same themes used by the Democratic presidential candidate particularly hitting on the concept of “change” in Olympia as the governor’s mansion has been a one-party pad since 1984.
One wonders how the Gregoire campaign will respond to the latest techno-salvo fired across their bow. Could a Chris Gregoire 900 chat line be in the offing?
