Apparently, it's video day on the blog!
I have to give credit to Dwight Evans for realizing the potential of the internet to reach voters in new and exciting ways. Below is a full video of his web chat from February 13th. Apparently, Google Video allows for much longer segments than Youtube but this same video is available in segments on Youtube. Make sure you turn your volume up and block off about 47 minutes if you want to watch the whole thing. When someone talks for 47 minutes, you're pretty much guaranteed that he's going to get past his "message points" and actually answers the question but I'll leave that for you to decide.
Lest we forget, Councilman Nutter also made himself available on video, though not as interactively as Evans, with his virtual press conference to unveil his housing plan.
Congressman Brady's website also features a number of moderately-produced (ie some photo moves on top of a one camera, one shot interview) "get to know him" videos. According to Brady a policy wonk is someone who will "wonk the policy." Interesting. These aren't as slick as Congressman Fattah's videos but, then again, no one is questioning how he paid for them.

Ok - I'm gonna watch but you gotta admit, when you flub the name of your Communications and Policy manager in the first 16 seconds, someone should have yelled "CUT" and started over...
