Hanging out with the candidates
Tuesday, March 20, 2012
In American politics, there's nothing quite so frantic or fast-paced as a presidential campaign. Short campaign stops and relentless travel schedules can make it difficult for candidates to sit down with supporters and discuss the issues. Google+ Hangouts have made that a little bit easier, providing new ways for politicians, political organizations, advocates and campaigners to connect directly over video to share information online. We're excited to see more and more politicians use tools like these to engage voters.
Later today, Republican presidential candidate and former Massachusetts Governor Mitt Romney will host a Hangout with supporters on his Google+ page. Supporters will be able to ask the Governor questions about his campaign in the Hangout, or by posting them on Google+ with the hashtag
#AskMitt
. This hangout will kick-off a series of campaign Google+ Hangouts including all the GOP presidential candidates.
Be sure to tune into
Governor Romney’s Google+ page
at 2:45 PM ET to catch his live hangout with supporters.
