Many 2012 presidential candidates have appeared in hundreds and sometimes thousands of hours of video clips. The videos linked below have met at least one of these three specific criteria for inclusion:
Show the candidate's presidential campaign announcement,
Show a statement by the candidate that addresses a question on the 2012 Election ProCon.org website, or
Show a clear and direct statement by the candidate addressing any of the ProCon.org sites' core questions.
These criteria may result in an unequal number of video links for each candidate. If a candidate made a brief statement that addressed a ProCon.org question in the context of a much longer speech or televised appearance, we included the entire speech; in those cases, we have indicated the minute mark where the relevant statement appears.
The date given for each video represents the day of the speech, or, if that information is unavailable, the day the video was uploaded to the candidate's official website.
Candidates Who Have Withdrawn or Who No Longer Meet Our Criteria (Please note that ProCon.org does not add videos for candidates who have withdrawn
or who no longer meet our criteria.)
