The cheese stands alone this election season

A 21 year old Georgetown University student begin using YouTube last January to post videos critiquing the many candidates running for president.  His YouTube videos became so popular and developed such a large audience that he was able to convert his critiques into actual interviews with many of the candidates. 

He goes by the YouTube name of Emergencycheese, a name he chose because at one time in his young life he had the idea of packaging a snack pack of cheese for adults who needed a pick me up during their work day.  Actually he believed that his emergency cheese snacks would provide a tension reliever in the stressful workplace.  "You'd have a board meeting where everyone was talking about some knotty problem, and suddenly someone junior stands up on a chair and says "Emergency cheese!" and everyone pulls out their snack pack and the tension is gone, and they start dancing around to Jamaican music."

That didn't work so well, but politics has propelled James Kotecki to a job with the website Politico.
