Category 5 Communications


In a recent lecture at the Louisiana Campaign Institute’s training seminar (Sponsored by: Louisiana Center for Women and Government) Pat Bergeron of Category 5 Communications discussed the role of the 'new media' in political campaigns. He shared several strategies and tactics that he said make the internet "an indispensable and deadly weapon in modern politics."

Below he was recently quoted in an article in the national political internet publication SALON.COM

Will Charlie Melancon's oil spill tears beat David Vitter?

(Pat Bergeron of Baton Rouge, a conservative strategist who has helped elect three Louisiana governors, says that Vitter has stayed ahead of the curve so far by running against Obama and that’s not likely to change. "As long as Melancon has Obama around his neck, he’s beat," Bergeron says. "This state isn’t going to change from anti-Obama overnight.")
