Neil McCormick at the Telegraph has written a great piece looking at the phenomenon of Will.i.am’s Yes, We Can video on YouTube in support of Barack Obama. The video has already attracted 13 million views with that number growing at a rate of 1 million hits a day.
However, Seth Finkelstein at the Guardian has a word of caution arguing that great online campaigns do not always translate into political success and it’s all too easy to conveniently forget Internet campaigns that haven’t worked. Having set the standard, Will.i.am is already spawning imitators like the No, You Can’t video below attacking John McCain.
It will be fascinating to watch whether the Republicans have the creativity and Internet-savvy to effectively retaliate.

That’s pretty impressive, seeing as the highest ranking video on YouTube is on about 74million! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dMH0bHeiRNg
