I do a little unscientific research...


If you go to YouTube and search for "McCain" you are innundated with videos that make fun of the presidential candidate in every manner that the intertubes has to offer. It goes on for pages. In fact to find any video posted on You Tube that is not overtly critical of John McCain you have to go to the second page of offerings and then there are really no more than one or two. The content is more than a little bit tilted against him.

In contrast, if you look up "Obama," you get a significantly different type of video offering. There are hundreds of highly complimentary videos posted that tell the story of Barack Obama in many different ways.

Is this an omen? I don't know. It is obvious that the digerati and the You Tube users demographic is much more in tune with Obama and much more likely to deride the accomplishments of McCain. There may not be too much value in this information but, then again, there may. I mean by this that people are obviously taking the time to create these videos and upload them to You Tube. Inherent in that level of activity is a perceived dissatisfaction with the McCain campaign and what it represents. That in itself is very illuminating.

Food for thought.
