Wassup 2008 – Breaking The Charts

Rarely a political web video finds a large enough non-political audience and becomes part of the national conversation.  

Wassup 2008 is on a trajectory to be such a crossover.

Over the last few weeks, only a handful of the videos recently linked to by a large numbers of conservative and/or liberal bloggers had more then 100 recent links from other bloggers.

Posted just a few days ago, Wassup 2008 has already been linked by bloggers 393 times, of which 230 were neither liberal nor conservative blogs.

This dramatic rise on the Political Video Barometer is despite the fact that we calculate “recent” links as those made within the last 14 days.  Based on the current growth patterns of all the top videos, the gap between Wassup 2008 and the others will likely expand in the next few days.

Could it be that the best spokespersons to reach Joe Six-Pack are the same ones selling him beer?
