 <description>&lt;p&gt;... on YouTube is an illusion.  Since the day before Iowa, and since then, YouTube has been playing with the view counts of certain candidates.  Didn&#039;t matter how many times you watched a video all the way to the end the count didn&#039;t change for Ron Paul views.  Want proof. Here you go.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;This video&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jiFsxp5qOpM&quot; title=&quot;http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jiFsxp5qOpM&quot;&gt;http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jiFsxp5qOpM&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;For two days this video stayed at 133,302&lt;br /&gt;
views although everyone in the comments kept&lt;br /&gt;
asking why the view count wasn&#039;t changing.&lt;br /&gt;
It had 6071 comments and 18 honors. Was ranked&lt;br /&gt;
#1 in many of YouTubes catagories including&lt;br /&gt;
#1 most viewed for the day.  The poster took it&lt;br /&gt;
down and reposted it so that the view counter&lt;br /&gt;
would reflect new views. It then stayed at 16&lt;br /&gt;
although it had 108 comments.  This is how Obama&lt;br /&gt;
is taking over YouTube. Not more traffic, just&lt;br /&gt;
holding back the counts for the real YouTube King&lt;br /&gt;
- Dr Ron Paul&lt;/p&gt;

 <description>&lt;p&gt;According to Google Trends, Barack Obama has been the subject of more Google searches than any other presidential candidate, and aside from Ron Paul and Mike Huckabee he blows everyone else out of the water.  And he&#039;s exploding on YouTube. &lt;/p&gt;
