"A more perfect union" closes in on 2.6 Mill YouTube views!!!!

How close? 2,591,401 views, only 8,599 shy of the mark. This thing is still taking off, after all, this is only Friday. Barack gave this speech on Tuesday. Perhaps it is slowing down a bit, as it had been viewed 1.6 million times in the first 24 hours I believe. That number has more than doubled though, as of 7:30 pm EST this Good Friday.

And as Rashomon diaried earlier, a new CBS/NYTimes poll found that 7 in 10 voters who had been exposed to Obama's speech, thought he did a good job talking about race and explaining his relationship with his pastor. That's a big 70% folks! Actually, coincidentally (perhaps) that's roughly the same percentage of voters that Barack won in his victorious race for the Senate.

Keep pushing the video guys, e-mail it to your friends, or harass your fellow employees like I did. The good news is that our guy is going to prevail here. There is plenty of time for Obama's views on this to filter down to the "low information voters".  

And more than enough time for a more accurate picture of Rev Wright to emerge, should that be needed. This might have proven fatal perhaps, had it emerged a week before the GE, but that's not the case. And Obama has just proven that he isn't politics as usual, in the toughest of circumstances, that he does have what it takes to unite us. And he did it just the way he said he would, by telling us the truth. And that's what the electorate wants this time, clearly, given the YouTube response and the polls.
