I Got a Crush on Obama

ht_crush_obama3_070613_ms.jpgThis post isn’t about the “I got a crush on Obama” video.  It’s about what this video means.  This is going to be the first presidential election in the internet video era.  I think that this video is going to wake up many politicians.  The fact that ordinary people can create they’re own videos about candidates and get the SAME media attention and press coverage of the big networks has got to be scary.

While I have no idea if the video is helping or hurting Obama, it is definitely increasing his reach in the online world.  I’m not really into politics and have no opinion on this actual video by BarelyPolitical.com.  I just think that it’s a new barrier broken for the internet.

We may start to see floods of online videos from candidates very very soon.  The videos may not be from the candidates themselves, but may be secretly funded by them.  While the standard boring ones probably won’t get alot of views, I’m sure there will be some very creative videos coming soon.
