When all is said and done in primary season 2008, what will people remember? Will it be the fist bumps, shots of whiskey and endless number of debates? Will it be the carefully crafted policy positions or gas tax holidays?

We say no.

As we move from one season into another, it's now clear that the age of internet video content is upon us. We've seen it all: Snowmen, Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, an Obama girl and a long and very awkward series of videos from former Senator Mike Gravel. These unique videos have garnered significant news attention and have helped to shape the debate over the course of the cycle.

Today, PoliticsTV and the DoubleSpeak team launched this compilation entitled: " 2008: Web Video Odyssey." We scoured the internet to find the best videos so far this election cycle and here they are. Hope you enjoy. If we missed any, please feel free to contact us and we'll be sure to include it in the next edition of Web Video Odyssey.
