The game is rigged! No matter how you spin it McCain is just more of the same.

You need to attack McCain directly, link him to both Bush and to PROBLEMS, and show how unknowledgable he is about important issues facing America. "McCain more of the same" may be a weak message. Some people like the way it is and like Bush - especially on social issues like abortion, and LGBT issues.

proven otherwise, my opinion is that anything that says McCain is bad and is fact based helps us.

It is truthful and will appeal to people who don't like to be so radical!
we should create new ones every 5 minutes.

Come on, after almost 2 weeks, with 55 days left to go, the only real attack I've seen pushed is that "McCain is more of the same!" We need to send the arrows flying- more and varied attacks - I mean we have all the material we need with McCain- sheesh. He's just a well of mistakes.

The roulette wheel filled with Lobbyist slots and one U.S. Taxpayer slot is inspired. I think it's an amazing ad that ought to be running on TV.

The guitar background is good, the graphics are excellent, and the payout electronic sounds make the ad. The only suggestion I have is that the lettering saying that the lobbyists have won each spin is busy and hard to read. I'd like to see that simpler (Arial bold, or something similar) so it can be read in an instant.

For what it's worth, I work full-time as a communications designer in a large corporation and am well-paid to get messages out on the floor. This ad delivers. Why? Because when the wheel spins, you are 99% sure you know what's going to happen, but you watch anyway, and sure enough, the Lobbyists win. Which captures perfectly what it's like being an American today.

Great ad, well done. Please get it on TV!

I think an ad about playing Russian Roulette with McCain would be effective too. An ad where you see McCain load 5 lobbyists into a 6-shooter and then hands a taxpayer the gun, saying: "Here my friend, you go first."

a site like < www.saysme.tv > to let people put them on the air.

Very nice video. It brought home how stacked the deck is in DC. We have not three branches of government but five: Executive, legislative, judicial, lobbyist and the Federal Reserve Banks. Only two of them (executive and legislative) are elected by the people. The largest and most influential one of all DC lobbyists (35,000)are not elected by the people. We have approximately 70 lobbyists for every elected legislator in DC. Indeed the deck is stacked. I don't know if Obama can change things, but I know that McCain won't even try.
