Online Video Helped Obama Weather the Storm

March 27th, 2008

Which is ironic, because it was online video that helped expose Pastor Jeremiah Wright’s controversial ministry in the first place. Obama’s response to the firestorm took the form of a nuanced speech about race, which millions flocked to watch online. As is often the case, online video magnifies and reinforces deeper political (or other) trends, often ahead of time. And according to a poll released in today’s Wall Street Journal, Obama did indeed weather the storm. Speaking of today’s Wall Street Journal, we were mentioned as a tool utilized by the Obama campaign :)

(Barack Obama across YouTube, Brightcove and MySpace and the YesWeCan video).
