Traffic on YouTube related to the 2008 presidential race spiked in March and April, largely on two unofficial, critical videos, one about Democratic front-runner Hillary Clinton, the other about Republican John McCain, according to a study of YouTube traffic by Nielsen/Net Ratings.
An anti-Clinton "1984" video, in which the New York senator is portrayed as a Big Brother-ish figure, accounted for about 75% of all traffic to candidate-related videos on YouTube in March, Nielsen found.
Nielsen found a far greater number of unique visitors watched Democratic candidate YouTube videos in March -- 1.54 million visitors, compared with Republicans' 108,000 visitors. But that number was high because of the anti-Clinton "1984" video, which was produced by a supporter of her leading rival, Illinois Sen. Barack Obama. By April, traffic had stabilized, Nielsen found, and both sides attracted 300,000-400,000 unique viewers on YouTube.
Mrs. Clinton's Web videos drew the most attention, drawing 23.2% of the total time in April spent by YouTube visitors viewing political videos. Mr. Obama followed with 20%. Former North Carolina Sen. John Edwards was third, at 16.1%
The Republicans followed, led by Mr. McCain, who drew 14.9% of all political viewing time. His two main rivals -- former Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney and former New York Mayor Rudy Giuliani -- lagged behind at 6.2% and 1.3%, respectively.

I can hardly confirm this news source or its integrity...u gotta admit the notion is funny. And scarily plausible that our 'great leaders' could seriously consider it. Curious how the tests would be conducted...

This is old news, but I wanted to remember it ... In Fall 2005, a student, doing a project for his high school civics class. took a photo to illustrate his First Amendment rights. The photo showed him standing next to a picture of George Bush, giving the thumbs-down sign. A Wal-Mart employee sent the photo to the local cops, who called the Secret Service, who then came to town and interrogated the student and his teacher. Don't you feel safer already?

"My fellow citizens of 9/11, today I will make you a promise," said Giuliani during his 18-minute announcement speech in front of a charred and torn American flag. "As president of 9/11, I will usher in a bold new 9/11 for all."

A blog that I write along with some co-bloggers that looks at politics from the middle. A place where both sides can come and debate free from the usual partisan rhetoric.

MoveOn.org, the political group that again and again proves itself ahead of the curve in mastering web marketing and web theatrics, has snagged Oliver Stone to direct an upcoming anti-war ad.
But using a Hollywood heavyweight to get the message out is so 20th century. So MoveOn has added a consumer aspect -- they can go to http://pol.moveon.org/videovets/ and pick the interviews with soldiers and families they think should be featured in the spots.

Have you seen the retooled Apple "1984" mash-ad on YouTube with Hillary Clinton playing the role of Big Brother? Obama's people denied any involvement, but here's the real story. Thanks Huffington Post!
