James Kotecki, he of the funny-stick-figure-dorm-room-YouTube-interviews of 2008 presidential candidates, has a smart piece up on The New Republic's website parsing the current Republican field of declared presidential wannabes and how they're doing on YouTube. He reports that Tim Pawlenty appears to be doing the best of a relatively desultory bunch, and shrewdly also points to pizzaman Herman Cain's healthy numbers of views. One stat he didn't note, of equal importance to numbers of overall views and average views per video: how many subscribers each campaign has gotten to their channel (these are people who get updated whenever a campaign uploads a video to their channel). The answer for conventional candidates Pawlenty and Mitt Romney is painfully few: just 818 and 723, respectively. Cain has double that number of channel subscribers, with 1,418. Eclipsing them all, Kotecki notes, is the unofficial channel of perennial candidate Ron Paul, whose 2008 YouTube presence, which no longer is linked to his campaign but still support it, has more than 88,000 subscribers.
