Winning the Online War?

Posted by Matt Ortega on August 7, 2008 at 02:36 PM

McCain online flack Michael Goldfarb claimed victory on the web earlier this week:

Our latest ad, Celeb, has more than 1.2 million views as of now, making it the most popular video on YouTube. Obama's response, Low Road, has less than 250,000.

Something Goldfarb didn't point out was just how poorly the McCain ad was received, and in comparison, how well Senator Barack Obama's response ad was received.

If a lot of people see your video and hate it, that is not really "winning" the online war.

This "low road" ad was very on point.

Larry Sinclair's video on YouTube has more viewers than Obama's, as I recall. So don't brag too much about Obama's YouTube entries.

Larry Sinclair's video about Obama has been viewed 993,000 times and has a three star rating.

Probably more people are watching it since Edward's confession.
