Obama's 1/2 hour ad buy tonight:

[jenmito]

I see some people are concerned, so to air everyone's opinion, what do you think of his move to do this ad?: (Leave a comment if necessary) :)

[JBoy]

1. People are talking about it. That's always good.

[Madam Mossfern]

7. He's going to hypnotize

the entire nation!

You are getting sleeeeeeeeppppyyyy.........

[grantcart]

11. pie pie and more pie

[whitewomenforobama]

21. Yes! I'm hoping it turns out to be

an entire Les Blank-style 30-minute documentary on pie.

[ThatsMyBarack]

43. If it was about nothing BUT pie, pie, and more pie....

Obama could still draw his voters in! :9 :patriot:

[On the Road]

14. Hahahahaha!

:rofl:

[ryanmuegge]

2. It depends on how voters react to it.

I could see it actually turning people off, but hopefully it works well.

[VeraAgnes]

3. I find it cutting edge!

it's a fantastic idea.

[ryanmuegge]

12. I think it's a cool idea, too, but you never know how the rest of the country will react.

Joe "Six-Pack" and so forth...

[AndyA]

4. Could it be too over the top?

I know it will likely be VERY well done, but I'm just wondering if it's too much.

Probably just the week before election jitters on my part...I'm sure I'll feel better after I see it.

[Sodan]

8. Nope. Just get those 50-53% (in the polls) out to vote and it's a done deal

A win/win situation.

[phantom power]

5. I think it will be OK...

Obama is a talented speaker, a talented politician, and he does his homework. I think it's unlikely that he'd do any damage with it.

The last person to do this was Perot, and I was just thinking, he took 19% of the popular vote. Which is an unbelievable performance for a third party candidate. So his infomercial must not have worked out so bad. In fact, I remember watching it, and thinking he was making some sense.

[Sodan]

6. Perfect idea./nt

[ZeitGuy]

9. I like bacon.

Oh. And I cannot wait to see it.

[juno jones]

13. Hmmm

Just what I was thinking.

[jenmito]

24. So do I...

and I love your "McCain/Palin" pic! :D

[TennesseeDem]

10. Can any of you see McSame doing this?

:rofl:

[jenmito]

33. No WAY!

Unless people LIKE being yelled at by an old, confused man who constantly uses "air claws."

[HughMoran]

15. EVERY time he's shown he's a regular guy - debates, etc., his numbers have gone UP

Why wouldn't dispelling all of the horseshit in a 1/2 hour show do the same?

[PermanentRevolution]

16. I admire your poll's truthiness!

[jenmito]

22. Thanks!

I'm glad you get it. (As I'm sure many other people here do, too.) :hi:

[KewlKat]

17. I'm on the road away from home what time is the ad? please

I'm currently in Omaha

thanks

[jenmito]

27. 8pm ET, so I guess whatever time zone you're in, subtract the hours...

maybe 5pm MT?

[Essene]

18. pie > cake > bacon

just sayin

[ZeitGuy]

34. Mmmmmmm....again, bacon......

keep talkin.

[mvd]

19. I think it gives him a good opportunity to set things straight on the economy

:thumbsup:

[Smuckies]

20. wrong thread n/t

[H2O Man]

23. DUers will be pleased.

This is a good thing.

[jenmito]

26. So will people who claim they don't know enough about him or think he's scary...

This might help them decide in favor of Obama.

[H2O Man]

31. Very much so.

It puts the McCain-Palin nonsense in check.

[jenmito]

32. Yup.

:)

[H2O Man]

45. What did you think?

[jenmito]

46. I think it was the GREATEST political move. Very well done. Very moving.

[H2O Man]

47. I agree.

It was perfect.

[jenmito]

48. Thanks for checking back with me to see how I thought it went.

And I'm sure a lot of people agree with us-not just DUers. :hi:

[redwitch]

25. I think it's dandy but mike2 is very, very concerned.

I think he might be an undecided though, in need of more facts and statistics and stuff. But he might just be a stoopid moran.

[jenmito]

29. Who's "mike2"?

[redwitch]

35. I think he used to post here for about 5 minutes.

Sorry you missed him! He was funny.

[jenmito]

37. Oh...

I thought you were talking about someone like "Joe the Plumber." :rofl:

[redwitch]

39. Well, "mike the moran" is kind of the same thing.

:-)

[jenmito]

40. Oh, ok.

Sounds about right. :)

[Veruca Salt]

28. I voted for just 'great' because

IMO 'greatest' is reserved for the video game ad buy. That was freaking brilliant! (As a gamer I am biased though.)

[jenmito]

30. Oh...

I understand. :)

[BlooInBloo]

36. I'm with you....

EDIT: However, I voted Greatest, because it pisses of the DU Concern Brigade.

[Veruca Salt]

41. It's the small things in life that make me happy...

and your reason makes me happy, hence you get two thumbs up from me. :thumbsup: :thumbsup:

I can't tell you how many 'I'm concerned' posts I've skipped over whilst rolling my eyes. Life's too short to be concerned over every little thing, gotta save it for the big stuff!

[BelgianMadCow]

38. do you think this will be carried live? (or even on the net please please) nt

[jenmito]

44. It's a recorded "production" but it WILL be on the web. It's been posted on other threads

but I can't find the link(s). I'll look.

[Thrill]

42. You can bet they ran by a focus group. So no need to worry

[AtomicKitten]

49. The greatest political move, so far.

I have no doubt we'll be seeing many, many more.

:hi:

[jenmito]

54. I agree...

I trust him 100% to make winning moves. :hi:

[undeterred]

50. it did nothing for me

but for someone who hadn't seen him by now, it was good

[rucky]

51. Glad I waited to vote.

I was going to rate it merely great before I saw it.

[jenmito]

55. I'm glad you waited, too...

Maybe I should've waited to start this thread. :D

[justiceischeap]

52. Can't wait to see the ratings on this (eom)

[Matariki]

53. I love Obama. I DON'T love how financially driven elections are in this country.

Whoever can afford the most airtime wins. That usually works AGAINST our side.

[jenmito]

56. Then why didn't Mitt Romney win the Repub. nomination? n/t

[Sewsojm]

57. I went in not expecting a lot, Wow was I ever wrong,

I thought it was Awesome!!

[jenmito]

60. Glad to hear it!

I hope many more felt the same way!

[mtnsnake]

58. The show itself was fine, but only time will tell if it was a great move. I sure hope it was

Our power went off here in northern NY from a heavy wet snowfall we got last night. Had to hook up a generator outside just to be able to watch Obama. It was a hassle getting it going in time, but it was worth it. Power was restored here just a few minutes ago.

[Cha]

59. I have to go with

Greatest!

[jenmito]

61. I have to

agree! :hi:

[Cha]

62. It was outstanding and just what was

needed at this juncture in time. :hi: jenmito~

[jenmito]

63. I'm glad you liked it...

I agree-just what was needed! :hi: zidzi!
