I just had the most insane idea yet.

How will you keep them in order?

Well, considering I was able to coordinate users to make the Most Responded Video Ever on YouTube at one point (had 4,000+ responses before YouTube removed about 90% of them), I'm sure it won't be too difficult. Again, once they see what we're doing, they'll probably help us keep it in order.
 
This is a great idea, and News and politics is the perfect place to do it.
 
This is a bad idea. It is a waste of time, technical and out of our control.

Why dont you go DTD and hand out flyers?

Plus how long do you think Youtube will allow it to happen? 5 minutes and then they hand adjust the front page. Who says that they do not hand adjust right now?

I like it but don't see anyway to keep the letters from changing positions especially if some 1000 rudy supporters try attacking just one video.

If they attack our videos, we can use it against them. Besides, you underestimate the flare and spirit of Ron Paul supporters. ;)
 
If you can pull it off, it will show everyone we have ownership of the Net.
 
Just like the media's Huckabee coverage?

If I understand what you are saying yes. If something is out of our control go another route. Stop calling and sending press releases if it doesnt work on the media. Just go door to door and talk to people. How better to have them know what RP and RP supporters are about?

Let me put it to you this way. The #4 Top Rated video currently on News & Politics has 101 favorites. With my knowledge of the Internets and the people I can contact, I can guarantee you nearly 100 favorites just from my efforts alone.

Now, if I can do that, I'm sure a lot of everybody here can help me organize the letters so that they fit properly.
 
I don't know if it's even possible, but I'm in, someone set up a site so we can go and get the vids to the top!
 
If we had this much coordination, we could spam a Ron Paul advertisement to the top of the charts every day of the week. Unfortunately, Ron Paul supporters are generally too lazy to click more than a few times :D

We might be able to do this if Bryan ever makes my video forum ;)

No need to set up a site. Not enough time, anyway.

Speaking of which, how are we going to upload these videos? There's going to be 12 of them, so we'd need 12 people to upload 12 videos.

Any volunteers? I call dibs on the "A". <_<
 
How will you keep them in order?

It's easy to keep them in order. All you have to do is tell everyone to view the first one 10 times, the second one 9 times, the third one 8 times, and so on. Or I don't know if its views or ratings or whatever--just tell everybody to hit the videos the proper amounts of times in descending order.
 
I don't know much about how youtube handles the top videos like that, but getting tons of views, comments, ratings, and favorites shouldn't be too hard. Even keeping the letters in order shouldn't be too hard.

I like the idea.
