US Election 2012: the view from YouTube - March 23

Every week we'll bring you the best US election viral videos. Here's four from a week that saw .....

1) Mitt Romney becomes the targest of the most brilliant parody video of the campaign so far:

2) Top Romney aide Eric Fehrnstrom makes an epic gaffe by comparing his boss to an Etch a Sketch.

3) ...a gaffe that Rick Santorum and Newt Gingrich both gleefully seized upon.

4) Although Rick had his own awkward moment when he was introduced by a fire and brimstone pastor who basically told liberals and non-Christians to get out of the United States.

5) Barack Obama's nominee to head the World Bank, Dr Jim Yong Kim, has a lot of qualifications including graduating magna cum laude from Brown University, earning a medical degree from Harvard Medical School and a doctorate in anthropology from Harvard University. To that list we can add the fact he knows how to throw some shapes and sings like an angel.
