Will you pay more attention to risque campaign spoofs or the real thing? 

Read and post your thoughts.

 Posted July 18, 2007 – While campaigns work to raise millions of dollars for campaign ads they may discover the videos produced with sexy and bikini clad women may get more bang then their buck can buy. 

Barleypolitical.com’s Web site has been inundated with users wanting to check out the follow up to their first video hit “Obama Girl.” 

 Now the sequel features two rival girl gangs in short-shorts and bikinis facing off in support of their presidential pick.  “Obama Girl vs. Giuliani Girl” is a musical with political barbs flying throughout.  Lyrics like “Everyone get up on the floor if it’s Giuliani you adore, I’m gonna be wife number 4,” pokes fun at the candidate.

I understand why neither political camp wants to comment on the videos, but they can’t ignore the buzz they’ve created.  Could they be secretly hoping these videos do just what they are doing – bringing attention to their campaign?  

This is the third video of this nature to make the Web and create a lot of hype.  Sen. Hillary Clinton, (D-N.Y.) was the featured candidate in a video on a Web site Hot4Hill.com where bikini wearing songstress touted the virtues of the former First Lady. 

While the winner in the “Obama Girl vs. Giuliani Girl” video is determined by a pillow fight, with a win in the Obama column, the real winner may be any candidate featured in one of these on-line musical tributes – after all these videos don’t require cash from the campaign coffers.
