STUNNING: Romney's 47% Video Has Been Viewed Three Times More Than His Convention Speech

The graphic below from Pew Research, which charts the most-viewed convention-related videos, is a sight to behold:


Forget for a moment how striking both President Obama and President Clinton's video views are in relation to Romney's convention speech. What needs to be fully digested is this:

A brave soul, discreetly filming a Romney fundraiser behind closed doors on a grainy, poorly-placed cell phone, has impacted the election (at least) three times more than Romney's own convention speech. The entity designed specifically to craft public opinion.

This is truly a unique election moment, and one that Nate Silver now recognizes as potentially historic.

I'm still stunned by its reach. And so is Pew Research.
