Viral video pioneer JibJab appears to have another presidential campaign-themed hit on its hand, as it's latest parody clip “Time for Some Campaignin,” released on Wednesday (July 16),  generated well over a million views in its first 24 hours on the Web.

The lion's share of that streaming took place on MSN Video, which inked an ad sales and distribution partnership with JibJab back in 2005. The clip was viewed nearly 870,000 times on the site on day one, while MySpace (255,000-plus views) and YouTube (over 100,00) also saw significant traffic spikes. On MSN, the video is preceded by a pre-roll ad produced by the Gillette Venus Embrace razor, while on YouTube the clip included an overlay ad for Bank of America.

Time for Some Campaignin features animated versions of President Bush, Vice President Cheney, Sen. Hillary Clinton, and of course candidates Sen. John McCain and Sen. Barack Obama singing about this year's White House race to the tune of Bob Dylan's The Times They Are A-Changin'. In the goofy, irreverent clip, Obama is seen riding a unicorn while McCain is seen collapsing in a hospital while hooked to an IV.

Viewership was increasing as of Friday morning for Campaignin,  approaching a million views on MSN Video--where it's received prominent placement--while exceeding 300,000 on YouTube and nearing a similar threshold on MySpace. Still, the clip has a long way to go to reach the viral phenomenon status of This Land, the clip which satirized the 2004 race between President Bush and Sn Kerry, which essentially put JibJab on the map. That video, according to some reports, was viewed 80 million times during the campaign.
