Welcome to a new piece of the campaign puzzle several old line GOP campaign consultants fail to get. A candidate's new media presence impacts a race in many ways, not all of them obvious. It's nice to see Kasich doing well in this regard. It shows you where the energy and enthusiasm is.
Well, with still a bit over 3 months to go 'til election day, Kasich has already surpassed McDonnell's total number of hits on youtube.
While Ohio's gubernatorial race is high profile, it isn't getting the same attention one of the only two big races of 2009 received, for no other reason than there are 30-some other gubernatorial races, plus congressional races. And yet, Kasich's youtube presence still outperforms McDonnell. Impressive.
And what about Strickland, you ask? Kasich has more than five times the number of youtube hits as the incumbent Governor.
Additionally, each campaign has released one television ad. In two weeks, Kasich's ad has 24.9% more views than Strickland's ad has obtained in nearly three months.
