Big Think: YouTube for Smartie Pants?.
Big Think is a new network that as officially launched today, with some pretty big backers, including Peter Thiel. At first glance it appears to be a YouTube for the mature crowd: go to the site and you’re immediately met with video clips from industry experts, analysts and other notables of some sort, such as Mitt Romney speaking on the issue of using the state of Iowa as the bellwether it has become.
Iowa cannot righty be considered a bellwether. Only Jimmy Carter and George Bush The Younger were non-incumbent Iowa Caucus winners who went on to win the General Election. That's 2 since 1974.
You could take it to be an anti-bellwether though. Indicating that we will see neither Obama nor Huckabee taking the Oath of Office.
But people do get excited about it.
I'll check out Big Think and see what Romney has to say.
