Campaign Videos (April 2012)

In April Romney became the presumptive nominee.  This is the month when the Obama campaign started to turn its fire on Romney.  The 32 videos observed from the Obama campaign included a mix of videos designed to encourage involvement, attacking Romney, and focusing on policy, positions and accomplishments.  The Obama video which drew the most attention was "Forward," a seven-plus minute review of Obama accomplishments which came out at the end of the month.  Only seven Romney for President videos were noted, and astoundingly none of them say anything about Mitt Romney or his views; five were attacks on Obama and two focused on Ann Romney.
