Top hits of the YouTube election
By Rajini Vaidyanathan
BBC News, Washington DC
Thursday, 30 October 2008

A man stares down the lens, delivering a message to the camera.

"Dear Mr Obama having spent 12 months in Iraq theatre I can promise you it's not a mistake."

At 1 minute 55 seconds, it's short, simple and powerful.

"When you call the Iraqi war a mistake you disrespect the service and sacrifice of everyone who has died promoting freedom... Because you do not understand or appreciate these principles Sir, I am supporting Senator John McCain for president."

The film, titled Dear Mr Obama, is the most-viewed election-related video on the YouTube website, attracting more than 11 million hits.
