My Sarah Palin Ad...how to attack without being like a Republican (i.e. lying/personal attack)

Gotta go to work in a few hours, but this is how I hope that Obama begins (SOON!) to attack the McCain/Palin campaign. Being a big fan of George Lakoff, it is very apparent that Obama is not sure of how to handle her, and if he doesn't figure it out soon, then the Republican "Superwoman meet a young Reagan" frame will stick...

3. K&R for the morning crew!

Good job.

[calimary]

4. Kicking!

Kicking.

GOT to get this out there.

[democracy1st]

5. you freakin get it...I hope the Obama campaign starts hitting back with videos like this

instead the soft tone videos that are running.

[krkaufman]

6. Good effort.

Some other good additions might be:

- Video or audio of John McCain saying the most important factor in selecting a Vice President, is finding someone who could step-in as Commander in Chief from day one;
- Inclusion of info that Palin was forced to hire an administrator to manage Wasilla in her first term, after early controversies;
- On the war, include audio of John McCain saying "I know how to win wars"... then earlier audio/video of McCain advocating for the invasion of Iraq (e.g. "Next up, Baghdad!")... and then point out that it's the President's job to keep us out of unnecessary wars.

Good work.

7. Excellent!

[VWolf]

8. Excellent - you hit on almost all of our talking points

in a concise, compelling manner.

Hope this becomes a model for what we see in the coming months.

[ayeshahaqqiqa]

9. Great!

I hope you do another one, focusing on Palin's poor decision about the sports complex in Wasilla, her penchant for firing people, and her lack of interest in helping people (via line item veto).

10. excellent! well done,.

this is very nicely done,. it is too bad that the repug supporters are BEYOND REASON,. but well thoughtout and excecuted ads like this may help sway sain people,. thanks!

[Shiver]

11. It's very good...

...but a little long. Most people don't have the attention span for something more than half a minute in length. Also needs to be a bit more attention-grabbing... music, maybe just a light beat in the background, or some ambient...

I would suggest, if you plan on using this in a sort of viral manner, splitting it into a series of ads around thirty-seconds in length. There are ways to make them all succinct with such a time frame, getting the needed information through quickly and efficiently.

If this is what you're thinking of doing, then something you might want to consider is numbering them, and then releasing "part 2" first. This might get people looking for part one, sending it around and asking people if they have seen the first part.

By the by, however, very nicely done. Rec'd :D

14. Hi, jab105!

:hi:

Long time...

I love it. This is a smart, penetrating video. Great work. :thumbsup:

BTW, is that your own voice? Very nice. It's good to finally hear you. :-)

[jab105]

35. Hi there! Yes, its my voice...

I do not have a good radio/tv voice - I sound so young/and have a weird "ssss" sound with my s's...but, didn't have anyone else to do it...so had to go with what I had...but thanks:)

[Number23]

36. You did great, even with your "sssssss"... :o)

That was a really nicely done ad.

[Terre]

40. YIKES!!

You sounded just LIKE HER!!

Thank God you don't think like her.

Next time, try to get that click of the tongue (like a tsk, tsk) she does. Drives me as nuts as hearing 'my friends' ad nauseum.

[Melissa G]

15. Great! K&R! n/t

[ihavenobias]

16. K & R

[intheflow]

17. That's great, but it needs to be edited down to 30 seconds.

That seems to be the general attention span of most US tv viewers.

Although the Obama campaign could do something with it if they did the "serial commercials" that seem to be getting popular with advertisers. You know, where they put up a 30 second ad, "interrupt" it with another advertiser's product, then come back and finish the first ad. Sometimes the first ad even has a cliffhanger to make people sit through other ads to see the ending. Then I can see an ad like this being really effective.

I'm glad I got to see it, though. It makes an excellent case against both McCain and Palin. Thanks for posting. :thumbsup:

[jab105]

44. No, you are right, I'm going to be working on this...

over the nest week and will have an update for it it soon...

[alfredo]

22. Very good.

[grannylib]

23. Outstanding! Please send it to the Obama campaign...they could take

a tip from you! I put it on my YouTube favorites! :-)
Well done indeed!

[DeposeTheBoyKing]

24. That's awesome

I wish the Obama campaign would take note.

[Plucketeer]

25. I'll kick it.

And while I'm envious of what you've done, I'd also have mentioned the fact that she's having to undergo "training" before she can submit to reporters for questioning.

[Infinite Hope]

26. Holy shit! GREAT ad. Get all the blogs to advertise this and maybe it can get some free media. n/t

[Infinite Hope]

27. Any chance DUers could raise enough money to put this on aire even once? n/t

I'm sure it could be sped up so it can be shrunk to 1 minute of aire time.

[pinto]

28. Really well done! Thanks.

:kick:

[nam78_two]

[DavidMS]

33. Awesome

Thats our message. I really like it and hope the party picks up on the message.

[Straight Shooter]

34. That is a great job at getting the message out.

You focused on his negatives by telling the truth.

By the way, if you're the one doing the voiceover, you have a really nice voice, one that compels a person to keep listening.

:thumbsup:

[BeatleBoot]

37. Love How You Ended it With that National Debt Graph.

That's a show stopper, really.

Can't argue with facts.

And the heartbeat sound in the background implying a heartbeat away from the presidency.

BeatleBoot gives it a 10 !!!!!!!!!!!!!!




(Honestly. Great Stuff!)

41. Why is the rating button disabled on youtube?

I wanted to rate this wonderful ad up!

[jab105]

42. I have NO idea?!?

I think it has to do with the site maintenance...it was at 5 stars...I want it back up!!

[intheflow]

45. Maybe part of the maintenance they're doing?

It's disabled on every video, AFAICT.

[bertman]
