And it wasn’t even created by a campaign? I just stumbled across this 1984 spinoff created as a Hillary Clinton attack ad from a Barack Obama supporter. The article from the SFGate says that the Obama campaign did not create the ad and has no idea who did. If we’re already seeing this type of youtube ad 9 months from the primary, I can’t imagine what we’ll be seeing leading up the final election. Who’d have ever thought that a site that got it’s start with short videos of teenagers doing stupid things might have such a large influence on the presidential election.
