First, YouTube, Now McCain Trumps Obama On Search in General
By Silicon el 28-Aug-2008
As we've noted, John McCain's campaign has indeed figured out YouTube, and he leads Barack Obama in total video views on his YouTube channel over the past month. Now, we're told by the WSJ, the McCain camp has trumped Obama in search engine marketing.
The McCain campaign snapped up search terms like "Joe Biden" and "Biden" and refer traffic to a campaign ad where Biden talks in an earlier debate about he'd "be honored" to run on a ticket with John McCain. He's also bought up terms like "U.S. economy" and "housing crisis," which link to his campaign site.
Now, given the well-documented Web-savvy of the Obama campaign, any small victory from 71-year-old McCain seems newsworthy. But some perspective is in order: Obama's campaign Web site gets more than double the traffic of McCain's, and cumulatively, Obama has racked up 53 million YouTube channel views, to McCain's 10 million.

John McCain is in trouble. Public polling has shifted toward Obama, and Obama's larger donor base allowing him to outspend McCain in traditional Republican strongholds like Indiana. With Colorado and New Mexico in play out west, and a good chance that Obama will take Nevada, too, traditional battlegrounds like Ohio and Florida are less critical than in 2000 and 2004.
Indeed, there are [..] Read complete article

John McCain unleashed a fusillade of attacks on Barack Obama today (mysterious background, shady Palestinian donors, etc), trying to change the subject from the economy. Taking a page out of Karl Rove's playbook, Obama's campaign responded by saying that John McCain was "angry" and "frustrated."
In any event: Yesterday's uptick in McCain's odds of winning the presidency is a memory. Aft [..] Read complete article
