The combination of rap and use of word "bullshit" will not go over well in some circles.

Possible that this ad will be sampled by Romney campaign to "scare" rural white voters. Could be a mistake.

Is there enough time to get the people who would listen to that noise registered to vote? And then after they are registered, will their interest be held long enough to carry them to the polls in November?

Me thinks not.

oh and old white middle class are not the only people who vote
The 'noise' listeners ?
they are already registered duh

reminds me of old folks in the 60s+70s talking about Rock and Roll
turn it down

Bruno Mars was up for Grammy record of the year
but that was for 2012 not 1982........

It is not listed on the Campaign channel, I think it is just a music video by @BigLouHipHop
