1984 Hillary Big Sister Video Creator Unmasked

The greatest mystery of the week has been solved. After massive media attention, it was only a matter of time before ParkRidge 47--the anonymous creator of the now famous video--would be unmasked.

His creation has been hailed as the first shot in the bow, of an election battle that will be fought and won on the internet.

Philip de Vellis, a strategist with Blue State Digital, the firm that designed Obama's offical campaign site, admitted he is the creator of the 1984 Hillary Big Sister video.

De Vellis has resigned from the firm to protect it from any fallout. Personally, I don't think he should have resigned. He created the video of his own accord, on his own free time, using his personal equipment--which he said is simply regular Apple equipment. It was a personal project. Why should he resign?

The Obama campaign released a statement Wednesday about this news "The Obama campaign or its employees had no knowledge and had nothing to do with the creation of the ad. We were notified this evening by a vendor of ours, Blue State Digital, that an employee of the company had been involved in the making of this ad. Blue State Digital has separated ties with this individual and we have been assured he did no work on our campaign's account."

However, I think his ad showed ingenuity, brilliance and strategic thinking. I say Barack Obama should hire this guy as part of his personal campaign staff. Make him Manager of Digital Campaigns. He got the skill, the talent, and the sharp strategic mind. He can wipe Hillary's arse on the floor of the information superhighway.

"This ad was not the first citizen ad, and it will not be the last,'' he wrote. "The game has changed.'' And indeed it has. De Vellis a.k.a. ParkRidge 47 started the beginning of a new style of 21st century campaign. Many videos will come after this. But he was the first who made it big. 1.5 million viewers and growing in Youtube. This will be the first truly 21st century campaign. Many battles will be waged and fought online. And it looks like Barack Obama, is on top. In Youtube, the pro-Obama video is lightyears ahead in viewership compared to the pro-Hillary video. And in Myspace, Obama simply leaves the others in the dust. He's got the most "friends."

Barack Obama Invades Hillary's Home Turf!

Watch out Hillary, Barack Obama is invading your home turf!

Since Barack Obama opened his presidential fund-raising committee, he has made several low-key visits to New York, quietly growing his supporters there, and getting a few contributions. New York is Hillary Clinton's home turf.

Yesterday however, Barack Obama arrived in New York without making any effort to keep things under wraps. This was open invasion of Hillary's turf. Obama had sold-out back-to-back events that raised him almost $1,000,000!

In your face Hillary!

And to make sure that everyone knew (ehem...Hillary included) about it, his supporters passed out Obama signs to people lining the street.

We are here because the country is calling us,” Mr. Obama told a cheering crowd. “We are here because we are at a crossroads.” He continued, “Every 20 or 30 years, every generation, a moment comes when we have to look up and ask ourselves, ‘Are we prepared to meet the challenges that this generation faces?’ ”

One of JFK's former closest advisers, Mr. Sorensen, said “It reminds me of the way the young, previously unknown J.F.K. took off,” Mr. Sorensen said in an interview, adding: “Obama, like J.F.K., is such a natural. He’s very comfortable with who he is.”

All of Obama's appearances in New York were sold out. If he can do this on Hillary's home turf, then the day he overtakes Hillary in the polls are getting closer.

It's not if, but when. I believe with this kind of momentum, he will eventually overtake Hillary in time for the primaries.

Many Clinton supporters are slowing peeling away from her and flocking to Obama.

A former Hillary supporter said Obama's fans, "I love Hillary, I think she's fabulous but I think we need something that's new and fresh and Obama is right there,” restaurant owner, B. Smith said.

Hillary is old news. Old blood. Tainted by her vote for the war.

Obama is fresh, and his anti-war credentials are strong. So Hillary, watch your arse, coz Obama is coming to get ya!

Obama Rising -- The 21st Century Grassroots Campaign

It has only been about 2 weeks since Barack Obama officially threw his hat in the ring.

Yet so much has been achieved. The Obama campaign is a truly 21st century campaign. So many things are being done at the grassroots level, leveraging the power of the internet.

Since Obama officially declared his candidacy in Springfield, Illinois, the following has happened:

• 3,306 grassroots volunteer groups have been founded and attracted tens of thousands of members who are organizing online and offline
  
  
• 4,416 personal fundraising pages have been established, raising hundreds of thousands of dollars in small contributions
  
  
• 6,706 people have created their own Obama blogs and begun chronicling why they are supporting Barack and their campaign experience
  
  
• 38,799 people have created profiles in Obama's official website and started networking with other supporters in their community and across the country

Most of the above was possible because of the quick development and launching of Obama's official campaign website which encourages visitors and supporters to get involved in the campaign. Using Obama's website you can:

• Find supporters near you and organize a local campaign group
  
  
• Network with supporters around the nation
  
  
• Create your own fundraising page
  
  
• Plan and attend events
  
  
• Create a Blog to chronicle your activities

And it continues to gather steam. Hillary's campaign on the other hand is losing steam.

People who once supported Clinton are flocking to Obama. Number one is Geffen who single-handedly started the "Geffen-Gate" spat between the Clinto and Obama camps. Second are the African-Americans who used to support Clinton, they are now moving to the Obama camp. And now Greg Craig, a Washington super-lawyer with close ties to the Clintons, is now supporting Sen. Barack Obama for president.

With this growing support, Obama will be able to raise the millions of dollars needed to run an effective campaign. This combined with Obama's massive grassroots support, will easily position Obama to overtake Clinton in time for the primaries.

Obama Fever Spreads in Austin, Texas

There's a new fever in town. And it is contagious. And it is spreading at an unprecedented rate.
Very soon, much of the country might have the fever. There is no known vaccine, there is no known cure. One exposure is all it takes...and you have it.

But fear not, this fever is not a disease. This fever just might be the CURE. The cure to slash and burn politics. The cure to the mess in Iraq. The cure to an ineffective goverment.

This is the Obama fever. Listen to one speech...and you will get it. That's it. Not even holding a photo of Hillary tightly to your chest will give you immunity to the Obama FEVER.

And now it is spreading all over Austin, Texas.

More than 20,000 people filled Auditorium Shores in Austin to hear him speak. The crowd shows Obama’s multi-racial appeal. There were people of many races, both genders, and all ages. No one is immune to the fever.

Obama spoke about universal health care, better education and getting out of Iraq. His message resonates with the crowd.

“He's got a lot of energy,” someone in the audience said. “He's talking about change. That's going to make a difference.”

This is the Vote Obama Blog Admin, and I have been diagnosed with Obama Fever. And I am glad.

Is America Ready for Queen...err...President Hillary?

Some of you may be asking, isn't one reign enough?

Ahh...but this time it will be DIFFERENT. Back then in the Bill Clinton Era, Hillary was merely Queen. Should she get elected to the presidency, I believe she will act not just like a Queen, but a Queen REGNANT. Big difference.

If heads rolled under Queen Hillary's behind-the-scenes power brokering back in the 90's, you can only imagine how many heads will roll under Her Majesty The Queen Regnant Hillary Rodham Clinton's new reign!

Why, even now, as a mere senator, she acts like a queen. She is not to be criticized! She can do no wrong! And worse...she cannot be BOOED!

Mistakes, what mistakes? The Queen makes no mistakes! The Queen is perfect!

Real positions on major issues? No...a Queen does not bother with such things. Such things are for mere plebians! The Queen simply tells the people what they like to hear and the people of the land will stay happy little subjects!

Most of her appearances are very carefully scripted, the visiting subjects must all be duly screened for loyalty before even being allowed to gaze into Her Royal Presence.

Thou must bow at her feet and sing her praises! If you are not with her, then you must be against her, and you are a disloyal subject and surely your head will be made to roll!

Don't get me wrong, I'm not agaist Queen Hilar..err..Hillary because she is a woman. I believe more women should be in power. But Hillary? Hillary? She who doesn't even have a real stance on any major issue?

Now, I'm not going to tell to not to vote for Hillary. Your vote is yours and the decision is yours to make.

But if you do vote for her, then be prepared to bow down before Queen Hillary the First, oh you unworthy plebian. And should you ever regret your vote, just shut up and sing Hail To the Queen lest your head will be made to roll!
