I've seen it at least three times today on CNN, and I certainly haven't been tuned in all day...

just aired again during the Crossfire break

now they should start juggling with some of the other finalists though. get the 'youth' ad on MTV...

6. Maybe not.
Though the "Army of One" is a brilliant piece of cinema, it demands a little too much of the viewer in terms of reading. TV is about visuals and graphics.

7. Done that.
They are doing great work, but are too narrowly focused. I want to know where to poke them to broaden their focus.

8. i voted for that one

"If I were president..."

the look on the parents' faces was priceless!

10. "What are we teaching our children"
that was #1 on my list, too.

Sadly, I don't think "Child's pay" resonates with most Americans. People seem to feel comfortable when it's someone else paying the bills. They also have little respect for anyone unfortunate enough to hold a dead end job.

11. That was definitely my favorite
Cute kids hitting * on a variety of issues; I really wish they would play that sometime. Maybe during the presidential debates!
