He has definitely re-written the rules of a presidential campaign.

I watched it on youtube and was rather impressed by it. I am still going to vote for him, all this did was just make me feel better about doing so.

10/29/2008 10:12:38 PM

i already voted for obama but i thought the ad was great. very emotional. not to mention i watched it with my dad and it seemed to swing him from undecided towards obama. so i guess it did its job

It was well-timed and very tasteful. People will say negative things about it regardless, but strategically, it was a Check-Mate move.

I'll admit I didn't watch most of it, because I've already seen umpteen million Obama commercials, plus back in Raleigh on my Time Warner I discovered I apparently have an Obama campaign channel, or at least did for a while.

Still and all...I was a supporter of McCain's campaign finance reforms, because in general I don't like money to be a major determining factor in an election. I wrestle with the free speech aspect, but always find myself coming back to the idea that money shouldn't buy political office, whether it's spent through corruption or ad time.

Besides, it seems like flogging a dead horse. Unless Americans are much bigger assholes than even I tend to think they are, the decision is made.

hey what do you know, a democrat being "less than up front" about the breadth of his programs that would assuredly increase spending. go figure

Quote :

"THE SPIN: "I've offered spending cuts above and beyond their cost." THE FACTS: Independent analysts say both Obama and Republican John McCain would deepen the deficit. The nonpartisan Committee for a Responsible Federal Budget estimates Obama's policy proposals would add a net $428 billion to the deficit over four years — and that analysis accepts the savings he claims from spending cuts."

Obama's campaign must be one of the better run campaigns in history

10/29/2008 11:08:27 PM

And McCain's is one of the worst.

10/29/2008 11:17:34 PM

^^^I've seen a report that says both cadidates will reduce the deficit, and also a report that says they will increase the deficit. There is lots of leeway because they both have vague proposals like going line by line through the budget slashing things, and theres no way to put a concrete number on that. So its really just the analysts best guess, and of course that will vary based who it comes from.

10/29/2008 11:29:09 PM

This guy's going to be our president? Really? Can we get him syndicated too? I want to see The Obama Show every Wed. before The Daily Show.

Hey look, he talked about the same things, again

10/29/2008 11:45:07 PM

The success of Obama's campaign can be attributed to his use of the internet to get people involved. McCain doesn't even email and embraces the campaign policies and tactics of the past. This was over before it started, and McCain's choice of Palin was the nail in the coffin. Palin was a complete blunder. Plus, the straight talk express? Come on! Compare these tactics to the millions of hits the Obama campaign web page receives every hour, or the financing that he received from his online outreach, or his willingness to educate voters on the role of government. Obama is not just smart, he's strategically brilliant, and he may win a landslide victory.

10/30/2008 12:18:49 AM

I just don't like the way he said that he would accept public financing and then went back on his word when it was obvious that he would raise more money than McCain. Very hypocritical, and there's really no other way to view it unless you're an ultra-liberal douche.

But hell, the end justifies the means, right?

10/30/2008 1:04:50 AM

^ Obama was polling in the 20% range against Hillary when he said he would do public financing.

I get the feeling he wasn't thinking he'd really be in this at that point in time.

So? He flat out lied about it. But I guess that's okay, since he can evidently do no wrong. I could understand not taking it if McCain had opted out of it. But Obama said he would take it, and work with the Republican nominee. Instead, he opts out of it and refused to talk to McCain regarding the issue. Woot. The only change Obama is going to bring is a (D) after his name, everything else is politics as usual. Pretty sad so many people have drunk the kool-aid.

10/30/2008 1:35:50 AM

^ I don't think that counts as "lying" if you change your mind.

Or was McCain lying too when he said he was against Bush's tax cuts for the wealthy?

10/30/2008 1:37:44 AM

^^^Whats your point? That its ok to say whatever you want if you're not expecting to have to act on it?

^You can't "change your mind" in a matter of months for political expediency and not expect to get called out on it.

The reality is that he went back on his word, and his only justification (that he needed extra money to counter 527 attack ads) was very weak considering the insignificance of 527's in this election cycle. It makes me question his integrity, just like I've questioned McCain's integrity in light of his many policy changes just in time for the election.

Given that a vast majority of Obama's funds came from individual citizens contributing... it would be more fair to say that Obama's supporters bought him the election... and for the most part there's nothing wrong with that, when it's citizens contributing out of their own pockets.
