Ridiculous Politics Within Generation Y

I have come to the conclusion that politics are too serious a matter to be left to the politicians.

Charles De Gaulle

Of course De Gaulle never had the "pleasure" of running for president in the 21st century. The 2008 election has seen an explosion of independent, unregulated and sometimes uncouth and uneducated opinions of the world brought into the lime light.
Gotcha moments on YouTube, unauthorized campaign videos and hard-hitting debate questions from YouTube users are changing the political landscape. The Generation Y's vehicle of choice; YouTube represents a broad new challenge for candidates, who in bygone days had little more to contend with than appeasing news editors. The Obama Yes We Can video and the Clinton Vote Different which run as wallpaper at the side of this blog have been viewed over 100 million times each; below are a selection of the most ridiculous videos most of which have 1 million plus views. Is it a case of a democracy in action? Or a pollution of the political system?
