Campaign Videos (August 2012)

This survey found Obama for America uploaded 63 videos in the month of August or an average of just over two per day; by contrast just 18 produced videos from Romney for President were noted.  Towards the end of the month, web video activity focused on the Republican National Convention in Tampa.  The Romney campaign released nine videos touting Romney's Bain experience and the Obama campaign brought back some "Romney Economics" material presenting a very different picture of Romney's Bain record.
