1. It's probably an effective ad.
Interesting idea...what are the poll numbers like now?

2. Reminds me a bit too much of the scene in Soylent Green...
...where Edward G. Robinson is in the euthanasia center, looking at the pretty video images and listening to soothing sounds while drifting off to death.

Makes the ad seem a little sinister to me.

3. It's a video version of one of those cheesy inspirational posters...

5. Say what you about old Emperor Palpatine...
but his ad is something different from regular crap in this season. I think they need to get rid of the wussy sounding announcer and put Joe Lieberman up in big print at the end. That way it wouldn't destroy the moment and seem weird/Orwellian as fuck!

(I am just critiquing the ad of Republican Candidate Joe Lieberman, I don't support him. :-) )
