Chasing History with Obama and MacCain on YouTbe

After my contract ended with Lock 3 Park, I wanted to get involved with the 2008 presidential election .

In the fall of 2008, the YouTube series Election 08 was born. I grabbed my RCA Small Wonders camcorder and tracked the presidential race between Barack Obama and John McCain in Northeast Ohio

The webisode series took me from a McCain/Pally rally to Michelle Obama speaking to students at Buchtel High School in Akron, Ohio to jam packed rallies for Barack Obama in Canton and Cleveland. The great thing about the series was the people who embraced the campaigns.

From the lone Obama supporter at the McCain-Palin rally to young students to supporting Ron Paul to a giant Barack Obama puppet bouncing down the streets of Cleveland, the presidential race of 2008 is one to remember.
