Election: Video Repository

Fascinating and diverse: debate footage from C-SPAN, depressing quantities of campaign advertising by candidates and interest groups, political rap videos, etc., sorted by the Internet Archive staff into a Spotlight Movie; a collection of videos with "high batting averages" (i.e., "the percentage of people who downloaded the item after visiting its details page" -- the What's happened to George W. Bush after 10 years video sent to the LOL list a while back is #1); and a menu of the "most viewed films." Number one among the latter is Constitution Class taught by Libertarian Michael Badnarik, the most qualified of the candidates for president this year <http://tinyurl.com/7yrql> (this guy would wipe the floor with Bush and Kerry). An RSS feed is available or search by keyword: title, creator, date, date range, description, etc. Uploads are welcome "from official candidates and their campaigns, journalists, students, and anyone with video materials related to the upcoming Presidential Election," so it's still possible for your video to affect the outcome of the election.
