1. Bully for him, what good is the money when he's dropping like
a brick in the polls. He's loosing his supporters, all except those that are republican type swift boaters of Hillary Clinton.

3. If you are affiliated with his campaign, tell him to rework his NH ads.
There's no nice way to say it, but his TV ad that's running in moderate rotation for the NH market really, really sucks. Those simpering "middle aged" women looking at him like he's Paul McCartney--it's just 'ton-o-bricks' obvious, and makes one feel a bit queasy. If you're gonna go for the 'rock star' theme, use groupies that don't look foolish and pathetic.

Frankly, the whole 'groupie' aspect of the ad is what is wrong with it. There's damned little substance in the thing, it switches between high flown words and simpering ladies. It's almost like Donna Brazil did it for him--we saw how well (cough, choke, snort) she ran Al's campaign. Next thing we know, they'll put the poor bastard in earth tones and throw him and his massive penis on the cover of Rolling Stone.

I could do a better one, and I am old and tech-challenged.

The ad leaves me uninspired. So if he has cash to toss around, tell him to toss it into his NH marketing strategy.

4. Obama is not my first pick, and I don't like the strategy of "Closing the Gap"
However, the results have been impressive. It shows the passion of a large number of people for him. A solid base with the ability to broaden appeal to a bigger audience are critical to any candidates success, and he is showing he has both.

Impressive and a red flag to the Clinton campaign.
