Georges, and rival Republican Bobby Jindal, have been the most active on YouTube (although they are still only posting rehashed tv ads). Democrats Walter Boasso and Foster Campbell do not yet appear to have set up YouTube channels. This is an intriguing inverse of the national trend, where Democrats have on the whole been the earlier adopters of YouTube.
