Here are the best videos from the 2011 run-up to the 2012 US Presidential election.
2012 looks to be a big year for politics, but overseas they don’t come much bigger than the 2012 US Presidential election.
There have been so many unbelievable gaffes, slip-ups, attack ads and viral videos that we had to exclude America entirely from our countdown of the best videos of 2011, lest it get swamped by our Western friends.
