First Obama Presidential Ad To Start Airing Next Week (Video)

Posted on December 14, 2006

It will hit the T.V.’s early next week, but of course it is already making the rounds on youtube. Most pundits say the same thing about him…He’s got a ‘rock star’ persona but probably not enough experience behind him for America to put him in the top spot. It is very likely however that we may see a Clinton/Obama Democrat ticket in 08. The first lady President and first black VP sounds pretty appealing and progressive for modern politics. Of course what it will all come down to for the swing states and fence sitters will have nothing to do with sex or skin color, but what the politicians have to offer for the best of our Nation. Despite the Conservatives having a set back this year, I think most Americans still want strong leadership in the areas of National Security. If the Dems want a chance at making history, I think they’ve got a lot of polishing up to do in that important area.

Conservatism didn’t suffer a setback. The Republican party suffered a setback. There’s a difference. The Republicans that got kicked out tried to be centrists instead of sticking to the Republican party’s conservative roots.

So Jason, you don’t think having liberals in control was a set back for Conservatives too?

Already? Was it really too much to ask for at least a couple months without overt campaigning? Sigh.

Jeff, thats what I was thinking too. At least give us the Holiday breaks! Sheeeshh! He’s gonna run out of gas if he starts the engine too soon before the race.

Letting the “liberals rule” for 2 years will prove to the American sheople that the Democrats don’t have a plan. Conservatives will come back stronger in ‘08 and maybe we’ll even get a real conservative in the Whitehouse.

We all hope you are right Jason.

Are those cheers dubbed in or what? Obama is carrying a whopping 14%, down from 19% just a month ago.
Amboy on December 15th, 2006 12:04 am

Ooops! Make that 15%

Nah, I’m sure it’s real. Every politician knows enough to keep the size of the audience smaller than the number of die-hards in the area.

BTW, I just watched it again and I must say that it is a darn good commercial. I’m still surprised and disappointed they’re going to air it this soon, but I’m always impressed by good marketing. Watch it from a technical perspective. It’s an incredible job of sending multiple messages, all while prominently displaying a relatively unknown politician’s name.

I agree with Jason. I know a lot of Republican voters were hoping that the GOP would suddenly snap to attention once re-elected, but it doesn’t work that way. The GOP needed this loss, and yes, the train wreck that will be Congressional activity for the next 2 years will remind everyone why they voted conservative to begin with.

I just received this article which I found very interesting.

In the past, our research shows, most libertarians voted RepublicanÃ¢â‚¬â€72% for George W. Bush in 2000, for instance, with only 20 percent for Al Gore, and 70% for Republican congressional candidates in 2002. But in 2004, presumably turned off by war, wiretapping, and welfare-state spending sprees, they shifted sharply toward the Democrats. John F. Kerry got 38% of the libertarian vote.

In 2006, libertarians voted 59% to 36% for Republican congressional candidatesÃ¢â‚¬â€a 24-point swing from the 2002 mid-term election. To put this in perspective, front-page stories since the election have reported the dramatic 7-point shift of white conservative evangelicals away from the Republicans. The libertarian vote is about the same size as the religious right vote measured in exit polls, and it is subject to swings more than three times as large.

Republicans can win the South without libertarians. But this was the year that New Hampshire and the Mountain West turned purple if not blue, and libertarians played a big role there. New Hampshire may be the most libertarian state in the country; this year both the stateÃ¢â‚¬â„¢s Republican congressmen lost.
