YouTube offers ordinary people as well as professionals an opportunity to post music videos and slide shows in support of their candidate. Which have you found?

There was the famous and professionally produced "Yes we can" video from this winter: www.youtube.com/watch?v=2fZHou18Cdk

Here are far less well known videos, the first reggae and the second calypso (hat tip to DrJay):

  Check out the interactive mosaic from the site listed above. Rollover the video as it plays and you will see various contributions from those who support Barack Obama.

  That DipDive video won't change anyone's mind about who to vote for, but maybe it will inspire some young people to get out and vote. That seems to be its main purpose.
