Your Very Own Obama Ad

I've got some very exciting news. A few weeks ago I blogged here on the HuffPost about a script for an Obama commercial that I would love to see. Well the hard-working folks at WowofNow.com, SaysMeTV.com and 13 Keys.com actually took me up on it. Take a look:

But it gets better. If you'd like to see the spot run in the swing state of your choice, you can log onto WowofNow.com and buy airtime on a local cable channel for as little as $100. Your name will go at the end of the spot and they'll notify you exactly when it will run so you can tell all your friends to watch out for it and feel like a mini media mogul. It's pretty cool that political ads are no longer solely the province of big party politics and PACs.

And if you don't like my ad then go out and make your own. What I think is most exciting about all this is that just as blogging democratized our access to information on the internet, sties like Wowofnow democratize the last bastion of the MSM -- television.

It is so true how the Internet does level the field and give all voices a chance to be heard in today's politics. Good for you and those behind this ad to show us all that you don't need a bag of cash to effectively communicate. Just look at YouTube or a site like www.KitchenTable08.org that my family and I put together to see that the people and not the PACs can control this election.

I found this little ad to be highly effective just as it stands. It effortlessly and convincingly establishes a relationship between an attractive endangered species (the polar bear family) and 95 % of Americans, and does this by way of a clever shock-of-recognition coupling: everybody knows the polar bears are in danger (and that Palin could care less about them) and that (gasp--here's the shocker) so are we!

Well done. Barack Obama's ad agency should take note!

Great add, but too short in my opinion. There is a lot more that could be said, that would help drive the point home. I actually would love to see an add where various people from every segment of life voice their top selling point when it comes to Obama, e.g. green technology, health care reform, education, taxes, jobs, middle class, bankruptsy reform to protect the middle class better, ect.

I will definitely contribute, but you all are missing Virginia.
