Youtube and the elections

[FMJeff]

<p>On Cnn.Com there is a story about a young man who follows around Senator Burns and tries to catch him on video doing something stupid.&nbsp; My question to you all is do you think YouTube as it applies to political-centric video will have an effect on this year's election? </p>

Well it'll certainly keep me from voting for East Side Dave after seeing the grape jelly incident on it.

Of course, just look at what happened to George Allen here in Virginia.&nbsp; The macaca video was all over youtube days before the news got ahold of it.&nbsp; That video popping up was what turned the race from a landslide to a dead heat in a matter of weeks (Allen had a 16 point lead in a poll done shortly before).&nbsp; I'm guessing this guy is hoping Burns does something similar.<br />
