Who is fighting the presidential campaign on the Youtube

As I have been trying to keep up with all of the different videos connected with the democratic primary elections there is one video that keeps popping up on regardless what search I make. The Obama girl video has seemed as a very ingenious advertising of the Senator Barack Obama’s campaign. It has since it has appeared caused a flooding of video replays and a whole line of videos starring “something Girls”. The Obama girl phenomenon has made a very strong impact on the elections of 2008 as it I think combines all of the features of a good political campaign. It has a clear message, it is noticed by people reaching vast crowds (The I have a crush on Obama video is one of the most viewed on the Youtube with 7,595,224 views) and it is still interesting and continuing to be a part of the debate. The basic elements are obvious a model dressed in a minimal outfit and a catchy tune mixed with politics and posted on the Youtube. I have therefore taken some time to make an overview of the videos with related topics and decided to present to you some:

Starting with The original I got a crush on Obama video:

This is the sequel of the I got a crush on Obama video and is aimed at Hillary Clinton and her campaign. Trough the video you can actually see all of the debated issues of the campaign at the time and positions of the traditional media and presenting Obamagirl as a user of Internet, being one of the members of the new generation of voters.



And the Super ObamaGirl video made for super Tuesday,



There are similar videos made by the same company called barely political who have produced a hole series of related and similar videos , but which I want to avoid at the time. But I want you to see some of the Girls of the opposition.
