Early Campaign Videos (October 2011)

The most noted video of October was "Now is the time for action!" a seemingly innocuous ):56 video from Friends of Herman Cain.  CEO Mark Block talked to the camera and at the end of the video he puffed on a cigarette and blew the smoke towards the camera/viewer.  The video went viral.  Other interesting videos included Rick Santorum's very personal story of his daughter Bella, who was born with the disorder Trisomy 18.  The Huntsman and Perry campaigns both took jabs at Romney.  The Romney campaign continues to be the most prolific about producing web videos while the Paul campaign does not seem to be making much use of this medium.  Fred Karger turned in a green screen debate performance.  The Obama campaign appealed to key constituencies including youth and Latinos.
