Ok thanks, makes sense. I can't wait for our convention, and even better, the debates.

voices that are even the least bit snotty. This one isn't too bad
once it gets going, but begins that way; otherwise the content is great.
The best ad I've seen (forget where) for Obama was upbeat,
with a cheerful voice and uplifting background music. As I
recall it was also a Mitt-killer. But nothing that sounded like
nonnynonnybooboo.

(36,974 posts)5. MEDIAite has it on the front page at the moment
TONS of folks go to MEDIAite to watch political videos: http://www.mediaite.com/
http://www.mediaite.com/online/obama-campaign-releases-video-response-to-mitt-romney-speech-what-romney-didnt-say/
And also the Obama campaign has tweeted out the link.
And it's on the Obama YouTube page: http://www.youtube.com/user/BarackObamadotcom
Most campaign videos that are over thirty seconds long are for online viewing and links are also included in the campaign emails that are sent out. Lots of times the cable news folks will hear about the best ones and show snippets of them on air for free.

(3,576 posts)6. Hey thank you for responding, but...
I really was asking why don't I see the ads on the television? Also, I watch a lot of MSNBC (such as Bashir this morning) and am quite irritated that they show ton's of snippets of Romney and almost nothing showing President Obama. The President gives at least one speech a week and they never show his face, always Romney's. What gives? It makes me mad.

They have to talk a lot about the republicans this week, so that they can focus on only the democrats next week.
As I tried to explain in my other comment you're not going to see ads that are more than one minute put on the air by the campaigns - airtime costs too much.
Most TV ad buys are :30 seconds or less.
The ad up in the OP is 2:23 minutes - it was made for the internet, emails, etc. not for TV.
