I have been doing a lot of YouTube research recently, so I can keep track of what the MeezNation users are up to. What has surprised me is the shift in the month of August in YT popularity from Barack Obama (whom I give money to) to John McCain (whom I don't).
As you can see from the graphic here, McCain is now crushing Obama in video views this month on YouTube, garnering 4.7M+ to 2M+. This may be due to gaming of the system, or it could be because McCain just figured out YouTube existed vs Obama knowing about it for a while, but in any case, each campaign is diligently posting videos each day, and McCain is spanking Obama in views. So what gives, especially since Obama is seen to be the high tech guy?
As a sidenote: If you're trying to do this on a Verizon 3G card in middle of Manhattan with all 4 green bars showing, you may want to kill yourself while waiting for the screen to load....why it needs to average less than a 28.8K old-style analog modem is simply mystifying...that will take another post after this since the performance is often far better in other cities.

From Clusterstock:
A poll over the weekend gave Obama only a 3-point lead. Intrade, meanwhile, has McCain's odds of winning at only 1-in-6. Are Obama bettors hallucinating?

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
