Give ’Em Hell, Harry!

Okay, this is hilarious, but actually quite cool. Harry Reid has “unveiled a new online campaign headquarters – GiveEmHellHarry.com – to provide Americans with the tools to make an impact on the fight for control of the U.S. Senate.” From the press release:

GiveEmHellHarry.com’s formal launch will be supported by paid advertising including billboards in three key western states – Albuquerque, New Mexico; Phoenix, Arizona; and Helena, Montana – reaffirming his commitment to winning in the American west.

The name of the site was inspired by an event that occurred during Harry Truman’s successful 1948 presidential campaign. While delivering a speech on a whistle stop tour in Seattle, a supporter yelled to Truman, “Give ‘em hell, Harry!” Truman responded, “I don’t give them hell, I just tell the truth and they think it’s hell.”
Check it out.

I think the Agenda bit is pretty darn dull (I know; I’m a broken record), but it’s got a few pretty nifty features, too. Have a poke around the site and let me know what you think. I’m interested to hear other reactions.
