YouTube Political vids
The 2008 Presidential election just may go down as the YouTube campaign. The hugely popular video sharing service run by Google is being used by candidates, political junkies, dissidents, dirty trick political operatives and advocacy groups of every type. Millions are tuned in and, as I reported in this week’s NBC-TV High tech talk segment, , YouTube is becoming a political force to be reckoned with.
My favorite so far? The John Edwards “I feel Pretty” video. Runner up: John McCain’s
“Bomb, Bomb, Bomb Iran” to the tune of an old beach Boys song.
