From a schmaltzy fan video to a totally hilarious attack ad. I gotta say, I kinda love what YouTube is doing for politics.

On the use of "like".

ETA (11:34): Another good political link: Chris Dodd's stirring FISA rant. Thanks, trygve, for passing it on. Also, a related rant from Glenn Greenwald.

I love those youtube ads. Esp. the attack ad... "like hope, but different." HAHAHA.

Also the FISA rants are fascinating. Interesting that Hillary didn't place a vote on the immunity amendment.

I laughed out loud -- for a while -- after seeing the McCain video. Thank you so much for posting it! I also agree that the Obama "yes we can" video was quite schmaltzy. People were all, "omg, this is the best video evar!" but I thought it was just ok...could have been shortened a bit.
