Best US Election Campaign Videos

Here’s a selection of the most talked-about videos in the run-up to the US presidential elections

Here’s a selection of the most talked-about videos in the run-up to the US presidential elections:

1. Lena Dunham ‘My First Time Was With Obama’

2. Joss Wheden: Mitt Romney Will Finally Put America Back on the Path to the Zombie Apocalypse

Joss Wheden, the creator of Buffy the Vampire Slayer and The Avengers, says a vote for Mitt Romney is a vote for the zombie apocalypse.



3. Mitt Romney Secretly Filmed at Fundraiser Saying ’47 Per Cent of Americans are Dependent on the Government’
