On Obama's 37-minute race speech last month:
Obama's speech has now been played on YouTube nearly 5.5 million times, with viewers presumably watching at least a few minutes of it. It turns out the Obama campaign planned it that way. [They] took great care to make sure that no sound bites were included. In other words, they intentionally avoided any of the snappy lines that they know reporters and TV producers are trained to recognize as useful for representing the entire story.
Whenever I saw clips of it in the news I noticed (but maybe not verbalized) that there weren't really any good sound bites to it. When I watched it, too, it was very spread out, difficult to summarize in a single short bite.
