We're going to try something new here at techPresident; every Friday we're going to post our semi-subjective, semi-scientific list of the best new political videos of the week. We're focusing on voter-generated content, though when a campaign puts something out that is unavoidable or genuinely interesting, we'll include it too. If you have seen (or made) a video that you think we should include, just send us an email at info-at-techpresident-dot-com and put the words "Political Video" in the subject line.

And now, this week's winners, ranked in ascending order:

#9: Red State Update: Fred Thompson Announces, Disses Jackie. The hysterical Jackie & Dunlap from Red State Update continue their mockery of Fred Thompson, showing up with flowers outside the Tonight Show's studio in search of the newly-minted candidate. They bug the Leno fans and hand out signs with slogans like "Better Fred than Dead." Almost 4,000 views on YouTube.

#8: Thus Said Fred. The official Fred Thompson announcement speech, head-bobs and all. Only about 2,500 Over 25,000 views on YouTube. [We've updated this with Thompson's official, longer video.]

#7: A Cancer Survivor's Question for John Edwards. Questions from people to presidential candidates are always better than their answers, and this video is up there because the Edwards campaign put it there, but it's still pretty compelling, especially when Elizabeth Edwards comes from around the stage to give the woman a hug. More than 90,000 views on YouTube so far.

#6: Texas Straw Poll Tyranny. We have a feeling that every week there will be a Ron Paul video in this list, and it will have tons of views, and most of us won't understand why. This week, clocking in at more than 100,000 views on YouTube, we give you this hard-hitting cinema verite of some people getting locked out of a meaningless popularity poll.

#5: A Letter to New Hampshire. The sleeper of the week, and probably not likely to rise in viewership unless the Mighty Kos points to it. Activist Matt Stoller mashes Hillary's new campaign ad promising to end the Iraq War with some audio footage of her talking about keeping troops in Iraq for years to come.

#4: The Real Rudy. Robert Greenwald and Brave New Films tie all the negative threads together in a series of four films attacking Rudy Giuliani. The first is at 89,000 views and rising fast.

#3: Mitt is a Creep. Live by voter-generated content, die by voter-generated content. This remix of a Mitt Romney campaign commercial shows the tools cut both ways.

#2: Miss Such As and The Iraq Meet the Decider-in-Chief. The faux hip-hop-style video cutting is annoying; they could have used a scalpel instead of a meatcleaver, but this was bound to pop up, given that poor Miss Teen South Carolina has been seen more than 19 million times on YouTube. The mashup has been viewed more that 350,000 times. "Is Our Children Learning?" indeed!

#1: McCain: Too Old? "Thanks for the question, you little jerk!" The good folks at WMUR-TV have been pumping out tons of local coverage of the NH primary, and this moment of Senator McCain dealing with an impolite question about his advanced age, viewed over 230,000 times, is simply priceless.
