Okay because you asked:

a) Over MTV editing. So visually it sucks.

b) It doesn't capture HRC. It captures a comedian. She's funny, but the whole slapping ass thing she does- what's that?

c) Have no idea what it's about. You say Iraq- I say Bill Clinton's sex life. I say it's about the comedian being funny- not about the politics. It's cool so long as one gets this- but I assumed you thought it was doing more than being Borat type funny right?

d) Is it funny? I chuckled a couple of times in a Borat way at the sex stuff, but did I remember anything about Iraq or care? Did I think of the politics- will it last? On this level, it failed.

Conclusion: it's not enough to make it funny. Make it funny so that people are laughing at the stuff about the candidate you want them to find funny. If they aren't focused on the candidate's weaknesses with your target audience, it's not funny for the audience.

PS- 5000 people is not that impressive and nor does a viral sensation make.
