Mayor Quimby vs NBA Star: Battle for Mayor of Sacramento

I would give one of my patented detailed descriptions here, but ever since YouTube implemented this new upload system, my descriptions have not been being saved. As much as I like the change in design, I wish they would work the bugs out of it. I am tired of typing these long descriptions and then having them disappear. So, in case this one actually works... it did not. I had to copy and paste it back in after the video went live. This frustrates me to no end, because the related videos are based only on the title, and the keywords are defaulted to be exactly the same as the title. This has definitely hurt my view count as it no longer puts the video in relevant search results, nor does it connect the video to other appropriate related videos. Now, some of you are saying, but you can add those later. Yes, but if you have ever noticed, the initial entry when you go live is the only one that actually counts. You can change the title, keywords, description later, but in order to keep users from "gaming" the system it does not re-shuffle you into relevant locations. Fix it YouTube! I also don't get why, for a week they added in the feature that shows the actual progress on your upload, which was rather nice, and now it is gone again with no indication of how far your upload has proceeded. Get it together already YouTube.

The video is about the election for Mayor here in Sacramento California between incumbent Mayor Heather Fargo and challenger NBA star Kevin Johnson. I hate them both, and equate Fargo to Sacramento's female version of Mayor Quimby from the Simpsons. I've got nothing against Johnson for being a former NBA player, what I have against him is that he is self serving and dishonest for personal gain. Furthermore, Kevin Johnson has not done a good job of maintaining his own investments nor has Kevin Johnson made good choices in the community. These are not qualities I want to see in our next Mayor in Sacramento, so I implore you, as much as I don't like many of Heather Fargo's political moves, vote for Fargo for Mayor of Sacramento anyway... please!

Thanks for reading. Read all you want, I'll write more.

Thanks for the insight. I've been so wrapped up in following the presidential campaign, I put the mayoral race waaaay on the back burner.Fargo's getting my vote!

Excellent, glad I could help. There is one more televised mayoral debate. I think it is on Monday the 27th, but I am not definite. I think you might know of me as the guy who does/did "Life in Sacramento." (I noticed on your channel that you are the Club Courtyard person!)

Cool! Sac's such an incestuous little city, isn't it? I think everyone must be less than 6° of separation from the entire place! Thanks for the sub, BTW. I update my videos just about as frequently as I do the Club Courtyard website... LOL!

I actually post pretty frequently on YouTube, but as you may or may not have noticed, Life in Sacramento doesn't get much of my attention these days. (Though the search engines still love it and I still get about a thousand views a month there.) Thanks for the comments here.

I think you should run for mayor, on the "I Am Not A Douchebag!" campaign. A non-douchebag politician would be refreshing.

Yikes, that does sound like a disturbing alternative.

Wouldn't it be wonderful if political candidates didn't provide such jaw-dropping examples?

Oy.
