Does anyone else think Haymitch is like the dad Katniss never had? (well lost)
Reports are coming out of the 12th Congressional District of Georgia that Dominion Machines are not working in certain Republican Strongholds for over an hour. Ballots are being left in lock boxes, hopefully they count them. Thank you Congressman @RickAllen!

Destination D.C. recently rolled out a campaign during the government shutdown trying to get tourists informed on the status of D.C. They heard a lot of people were canceling their trips to the district because they thought everything would be shutdown with the government. Au contraire! Looks like D.C. is open for business..

Overall I thought it was a clever reactive technique, especially because I think it has potential to go beyond the shutdown and work toward building D.C. as a brand. In a way, they are saying D.C. is more than just government (a stereotype that TV shows like Homeland and Scandal definitely perpetuate).
But I think they could’ve done better- Why not move away from the government for a minute and highlight the beauty of D.C. during the day or night. What I would do is make a campaign centered around D.C. All Day and D.C. All Night… Because we can have fun after midnight too :)
Check out my video below, think of it as a teaser to a whole campaign centered around the day-to-night scenes D.C. captures.
