4. That one was really good.

But I think it would appeal more to the younger generation. The winner hits everyone.

5. Terrible choice

People are going to see hundreds of ads like this one during this election cycle. They should've chose an ad that was memorable, like the "catch hope" series.

9. But...

yes...I agree the "Catch hope" ads were fantastic! One of my friends was actually in them! The only problem with them is they were dripping with sarcasm...which as we know...is easily misinterpreted by the public...especially a public where so many people still think Obama is a muslim! The one they chose is simple...direct...straight forward...and accessible to all Americans who don't want to think. Easiest way to get votes is to be simple. Look at our current President...VERY simple! :dunce:

10. There's alot of simpleness out there already

The whole "military "theme is getting kinda old. The Obama Campaign has put out a lot these ads, and Vote Vets will likely do the same thing. MoveOn could've afforded to do something a bit more risky.

7. I now know why my parents hated the republican party.

I'm an independent and I'm voting for the Democratic candidate, against my my own personal interests, because it is the right thing to do for my country. This ad appeals to me (51, white male, NRA Life Member). I'm tired of the republican party dividing and conquering.
