When you figure last night was the biggest night of the DNC convention and all the hype surrounding Obama's "BIG" speech. There are some very interesting numbers if you look at how many times the individual speakers videos have been viewed on You Tube. For instance Michelle Obama spoke the first night and video of her speech has been viewed 129,461 that is 32,365 on average each day since. Dennis Kucinich spoke on the 26th according to You tube, who else knew? Well 102,314 people who watched it on their website, that’s who. The Kucinich speech has been viewed on an average of 34,104 times a day since he spoke. Both however are clearly dwarfed by none other then Bill Clinton whose speech was viewed an average of 52,060 times each day a current total of 104,121. Hillary did make the list behind at 70,222 but only 23,407 times a day. When considering Al Gore whose speech last night drew 24,407 views so far it makes you wonder if she would have fared any better than he did.
Oh I'm sorry I wasn't trying to forget the ticket Obama/Biden 08' they also are on the list and these numbers prove what I have said all along. The end for the Democrats is at hand, the days of outspoken radicalism in US politics is over. Barrack Obama spoke last night and so far his speech has been viewed 38,675 times, he is the one running not Bill Clinton whose speech two nights ago has been viewed almost three times more than Obama. Then Joe Biden's speech the same night as Bill Clinton was viewed 55,472 times that would be 27,736 times a day since he spoke. That is less traffic than either Kucinich or Michelle Obama both within a few thousand votes of the big "O".
Others spoke but they are hardly note worthy, I mean Pelosi spoke three days ago only 3,295 people cared enough to watch it on You Tube. Since Obama announced Biden as his VP six days ago 8,448 views and when Biden spoke to accept he got 6,839 views.
Some would say Michelle was the key note that is why she went up so high. Maybe so, but I didn't even know Kucinich was there and on the averages he is third behind Clinton and Obama. Then what about the hype for Obama his live audience was twice what the others saw why is he back in the pack.
Just words, Just speeches, just and observation of both
Update August 29th 10pm (CST):
John McCains announced Palin and so far has 41,766 views since noon at 3:30 it only had 215 views. In fairness Obama has now moved up to 72,825 as have all the other speakers but his has gone up more significantly. We will keep you posted
Update 8/30/08 2:20 pm (CST): Obama's speech Thursday is coming up on 48 hrs with over 111,148. Bill Clinton is still leading his speech from the previous night at 130,910, however I think it note worthy to point out that 111,324 people viewed Dennis Kucinich's who spoke the same night as Hillary and she is up t 86,044.
Contrast that with McCAin's VP intro speech made 26 hrs ago at 107,869 he will eclipse Obama by 5pm(CST) in my estimation or sooner. When all the media hype was centered around Hillary, and who Obama picked was just as big if not bigger in the eyes of the MSM. The Obama introduction and the speech Biden gave in accepting are currently at 15,916. Oh and Nancy Pelosi sits at an ice-cold 3,683 thats only 388 since the last time I counted if she could call those book sales she might have something.
Update: August 30th 9:00pm (CST):
This just in John McCain now 30 hrs after his VP speech now has 123,920 views on YouTube. Yet Obama who the media have hype to the hilt has managed to achieve 119,177 views almost exactly 72 hours after his convention acceptance speech, his VP annoucement has only gotten 16,058. So the between the last time I logged in an entry on this to now McCain had an additional 16,051 hits while Obama had only 8,029, and Pelosi had a staggering 94 (if it was only books sales). Kucinich meanwhile added 1690 to his total and Bill is still moving at 134,179, but is getting slowly caught by Obama who should overtake him in hit totals by late Monday if the trend holds.
Update: August 31st McCain's VP totals are now up to 135,452 hits, Obama's acceptence speech is at 129,054 a difference of 6398. The trend shows McCain pulling away by another 1655 hits increasing his lead. Obama's VP announcment speech at 16,216 and Joe Biden's convention speech is at 66,650 hits. On a much lighter note Nancy Pelosi still chugging along adding a whopping 75 hits. Bill Clinton added 3,340 for a total of 137,519 which means by the next update McCain's VP selection speech should overtake him.
