Jason Zengerle profiles Andrew Kaczynski, a college student who "dives into C-SPAN’s extensive online archives" in his free time and uploads what he finds to his YouTube channel:
Kaczynski describes himself as a moderate Republican. "I hate to pick on Mitt Romney—I think he’s the most electable Republican other than Huntsman," he told me one recent afternoon, a couple of hours after he’d gotten out of his English class. "But because of these perceptions that people have of Romney—that he’s a flip-flopper, that he’s socially awkward—it’s really easy for me to search through video archives and find things that people find entertaining." Once upon a time, opposition research was designed to score political hits. Now it can just be about scoring page views.
