The Other Debate '08: Crush On Obama vs "Obama Girl vs Giuliani Girl"

The release is off to a good start - 9AM EST and already over 200 views according to YouTube.

I have to agree with "friendlier" though - a little less old school R&B and something more web/music 2.0 would have been cool. But the video is funny and really good natured. Folks are going to like it. I guess time will tell: the original Crush On Obama is standing at over 2.3 million views right now - let's see if Debate '08 can catch up!

Tuesday July 24 - One week later - here's what we got: The new one received plenty of attention, getting mentions all over the media and viral spheres. Heck, even Frank Rich over at the NY Times lyric-checked it in his regular thrash-the-administration Sunday column.

In one week, it was viewed about 758 thousand times, while the original Crush On Obama received an additional 400 thousand views - combined the videos were viewed almost 3.5 million times.
