You can argue all you want about who won the Democratic debate tonight, but all that matters is who wins on Super Tuesday. If viral video is any indicator (and I don’t think it is), Barack Obama is already ahead. From the folks at Barely Political, now part of Next New Networks, here is latest Obama Girl video: Super Obama Girl. It just came out:
Personally, in my book, you can never top the original Obama Girl video. Let’s review (for comparison purposes only):
There’s also the whole YouBama phenomenon,which we broke, and now the Washington Post, Yahoo News, and CNN has picked up. I got an e-mail earlier tonight from YouBama co-founder Christopher Pedregal informing me that “Our servers are melting.” They seem to be back up now. I wonder how long before someone puts the Obama Girl videos on YouBama. Check out Craigslist founder Craig Newmark’s Obama video testimonial. He ain’t no Obama Girl, but he is sincere. Where are all the viral videos for Hillary or McCain?

So good !
Sleaziness sells..it can sell anything..
I am so sick of all the hype on video sites about candidates. It’s like a frickin
cranival. So much for really giving a damn about our country. They make a mockery of it.
Lighten up, ladies. Have you ever heard of the youth vote?
I’m no Obama girl?

You need a costume, Craig. I’ve been telling you that for years.
The post was fine, although slightly out of place, until Craig’s “testimonial”, as that crossed the line from slightly obnoxious video clips to straight up endorsement of a candidate.
Please keep politics off the site. There are plenty of other blogs that cover it from all angles and do so very well.
They suck up on candidates in a hope for later reward from the President.
I like the testimonials better, but I guess it depends on the type of person you are.
The sexy music videos are entertaining, but I don’t know if they have the intended effect on persuading viewers.
Here’s a testimonial that was effective for me:

(Smart, classy, and sexy)
Then again, some people are immediately turned off by any type of endorsement and equate it negatively as hype (cynics).
What kind of costume?
Are you alluding to the Seinfeld where George posed “seductively”?

I’ll see if we have a Super Obama Boy costumes around. Rajiv – don’t know what you’re implying by “later reward from the President”.
Thanks TC, you made my day with this one.
It’s like a frickin
cranival.
Obama has the youth vote locked up. Hillary seems to have the over-55 vote locked up. Unfortunately for Obama, lots of history (including the 2008 primaries to date) shows that Hillary’s group turns out the vote at about 3-1 over Obama’s group. Age trumps youth when it comes to voter demographics.
