They looked to the Youtube?

 
GodsTumor 2008-07-17 08:55:13 PM  
Yeah but, McCain owns the IHOP primary!

Not "stole", subby... "owned." Someone else would have to have stolen it since Obama owned it.

 
Calvin Coolidge 2008-07-17 09:03:32 PM  
He got more traffic on his YouTube vidoes because he was more popular than Clinton, especially among younger people... you know, people who actually know how to go out and look at the YouTube.

I'll be happy if he can run a country half as good as he can run a campaign.

Good to see you didn't RTFA

TFA: Other nuggets: Obama's YouTube and web site metrics show that his online viewers aren't pups. The average viewer is 45 to 55 years old,

FTA: Online, however, it wasn't close: Barack Obama dominated the discourse and steamrolled Hillary Clinton

Cleveland steamrolled?

He obviously won becuase people who go on youtube can appreciate his understanding of complex issues, his naunced positions, and in depth policies. They're really a more intelligent and attentive group of voters than- holy crap a kitten playing piano! Freaking awesome!

I take issue with what you suggest, and have prepared a list of counterarguments that- Dude! A dog on a skateboard! LOLZ

God dammit, beaten by two posts to making a "He didn't steal the primary, he found it" joke.

Why does Obama want to kill America so much? Why does Obama want to kill American children so much? Why does Obama want to kill the children of the whole world so much? Why can't he just answer these questions?


Is this an actual retard that can type grammatically correct sentences, or a very good parody?

How can you "find" something "from" a store, unless it wasn't there when you found it? You can find something IN a store. Horrible, horrible grammar.

 
Ball Sack Obama 2008-07-17 10:46:59 PM  
For a "great speaker," he sure sounded like a dumb ass in that video.

Clearly a black person looted it from the store, then dropped it just outside because they were carrying too much Heineken.

Now that they are, Chaudhary says Obama speaks of continuing to use the medium if elected: He pictures online fireside chats, and posting video of internal debates on topics like healthcare.

Posting the debates could change politics in ways that we don't known yet, whether they are scripted or not. Awesome!

 
Donald_McRonald 2008-07-18 12:21:51 AM  
He has a guru?

ZOMG OBAMAS TEH HINDOO!!!1

Seriously. THAT should be the headline for this story.

If Obama follows through with that, it would radically alter the way people look at, and maybe even interact with their federal government. Transparency of that level would be unprecedented.

having obama elected president this year would be like have a 3rd grader president over you high school class. THAT IS ALL....

Looks like Grampa McCain might want to figure out how to turn on one o' them new-fangled 'lectric typewriters with the tee-vee attached to it.

/or he could just ask his trollop to do it for him

Well then, pal , better get ready to give your juice box to Barry, 'cause guess what...

/then you better steer clear of the McCain place on your way home, 'cause the old man there will yell at you about pulling up weeds in his garden if you want any of his Juicy-Fruit gum - and he's crazy

A campaign manager runs the campaign. He has Hundreds of people telling him where to go, what to say. He's a puppet.
