The Best Viral Political Campaign Ads (VIDEO)


This year's elections have brought out quite a cast of characters, and produced some of the funniest and weirdest campaign ads ever seen. Which ones are the worst and/or best?

Many people will remember the Christine O'Donnell ad that featured her telling everyone "I'm you." Charlie Melancon got down and dirty going after David Vitter on his former scandals and legal troubles, and in a racuous NY debate we heard all about how the RENT IS TOO DAMN HIGH! For more great moments in video from this campaign season, see below:

What do you get when you combine a Wisconsin Republican, folksy tunes, flannel and some good ol' fashioned logrolling? Why, it's the lumberjackiest political ad of the season from former MTV reality star and timber sport enthusiast Sean Duffy. "Washington's reckless spending is spinning [cue log-rolling] our economy out of control," the young Republican says as a suited politician rolls a construction worker, child and grandma right into the lake. And we never thought we'd say this, but after watching "Mourning in America," we miss the '80s.
