40 views and no vote yet? Is there a gang of drive by lurkers hanging around?
Strange... Or could it be that this is region blocked for some?

That or the video sucks I guess...

Normally I´d think I submitted another crappy clip, but NO votes at all for Conan making fun of McCain despite so many views?

Just doesn´t seem siftright. Have a hunch the clip might be broken.

Works fine for me. The clip gets off to kind of a slow start, so it could be that people are watching a few seconds and then losing interest.

The views count seems psychotic to me in general. If you hover your cursor over it, it'll give you the view/vote ratio, which is more in line with what you'd expect.

I'm thinking the raw count includes non-subscribed views, or possibly just displaying the thumbnail for the video to someone.

True. I normally don´t even look at it. But Conan being stuck at a single vote for hours seemed very strange.

Thanks for the hovering tip. That´s one thing I did not know yet!
Learn something new every day I guess.

McCain is soooooo out of touch.

I always thought Brit Hume from Fox News looks like a basset hound.
