Obama Is The New JFK
June 27, 2007
The wildly popular “I Got A Crush On Obama” video (1,947,399 views on YouTube alone) is the perfect example of how political advertising for the 2008 race is going to be like nothing the American public has ever seen. Unlike the Obama 1984 video (logging over 3 million views at this point), “Crush” is not a straight up political ad. In it, Obamagirl sings lyrics such as: “Baby, I cannot wait/til 2008/Baby, you’re the best candidate-.” Hey, now… at least she’s smoking hot.
It’s a wonky endorsement that is gaining serious traction with younger voters. Let’s face it, Barack Obama’s made out like a bandit with user-generated viral advertising. You don’t have to be a politico to realize that Barack has that demographic all sealed up. You other Dems should just step aside and focus on some other portion of the voting population. Don’t believe us? Just search YouTube to see how many videos have been posted that laud the young Senator. We hear that’s where the young people hang out these days.
