Couple comments on timing, ending of Eminem video
I'm 37 and hardly a fan, but I was really impressed by this video. Two things I'm curious about:

The timing seems horrible; why didn't this come out two weeks ago? Really, Sept. would be better, when people could still register to vote. At this point it seems like the impact will be minimal. And it seems outdated right away. Is eminem really serious about ousting bush or is he a closet bush supporter?

At the end of the video, they flash a message to "vote november 2". That has like a 6 day shelf life.

That said, what I see in the video is a call to people to take to the streets, to put on a black hooded jacket and march to DC, do something with their anger. Now, if there is some controversy with the results, if there is talk of republicans stealing the election again, wouldn't this be a good way to energize people to take to the streets in protest? That almost seems like the goal, not voting. So maybe the timing will work in our favor, if this thing gets decided in early Dec. by the supreme court again....

What are the odds they'll change the ending to say "protest December 6" ??
