It's a very new media idea: feature YouTube videos of supporters on your campaign Web site. And the videos on Republican state Rep. Tom Emmer's gubernatorial Web site are interesting.

But of the 20 "Citizen Endorsement Videos" at least one comes from an Emmer campaign staffer: Jack Tomczak, political director. He doesn't mention that he works with the Emmer campaign in their 1 minute-plus videos.

Well, staffers are citizens, too, right?

Update:

This is a corrected version of this post. An earlier version named a second staffer but there are two Benjamin Kruse's supporting Emmer's campaign. Benjamin A. Kruse is a candidate for state Senate and featured in the video. Benjamin C. Kruse works for the Emmer campaign and hasn't done a video.
