It Isn't 2008 Any More

From Politico:

The National Republican Senatorial Committee’s parody of Obama’s 2012 campaign, released Friday, now has 665,000 views on YouTube.

Obama’s real launch video, released yesterday: Just 168,000.

YouTube’s metrics tend to lag a bit, but the numbers suggest that — energy-wise — we’re in 2010, not 2008.

The bloom is most definitely off the rose. Of course, the Obamatons of the left will eventually drive viewership of the Obama video higher…but this does show that the “enthusiasm gap” of 2010 is still very real.
