In its first two and a half days online, Barack Obama's "A More Perfect Union" speech (including this version) has been viewed 2.7 million times.
Another contrast: the original Jeremiah Wright video from FOX News has been played 590,000 times -- and it's been up a week longer. During the time that Obama's speech generated 2.7 million views, Wright's clip generated less than 100,000.
Obama's speech has been seen about as many times as the five most viewed videos on Hillary Clinton's channel -- combined. Most of those clips have been up for more than a month.
Obama's speech receives a 4 star rating -- Clinton's most-watched clip, the 3am ad, received just 1 star.
The Democratic Party has never in my lifetime had a presidential candidate communicating directly to so many people, pushing the media aside.
It's what so many of us have been talking about for years. Well, we've finally got it -- and the superdelegates would be absolutely crazy to throw it away.
