Obama Walloping Clinton Online
ADOTAS – America’s love affair with Senator Barack Obama has scaled new heights online, according to statistics released by compete.com. In six separate categories, Obama beat Senator Hillary Clinton by at least 2:1.
Viewers were 10 times more likely to watch Obama’s YouTube channel last month, due to the popularity of the speech he gave in the midst of the controversy over racially charged remarks his former pastor, Rev. Jeremiah Wright, made. (The speech has been viewed about 4 million times, compete.com reports.)
