Video Blogger hired by Politico

At the risk of beating a dead horse... You know you have the traditional media scared when they hire you:
James Kotecki, one of YouTube’s most popular political video bloggers has been hired by the respected Politico.com (an online and paper daily focused on political news). Kotecki began posting videos to YouTube from his Georgetown University dorm room in late January, 2007. Three months later, he hosted Rep. Ron Paul (R-Tex.) in the first-ever dorm room interview with a Presidential candidate. He has since interviewed a total of seven Presidential candidates including former Sen. John Edwards (D-N.C.), Sen. Chris Dodd (D-Conn.), and Gov. Mike Huckabee (R-Ark.). He has appeared on CNN, Fox News, NPR, and the BBC, and he has been profiled by The Washington Post, The Los Angeles Times, Yahoo! News, and US News and World Report.
Here are two videos to help you understand just who this guy is:
