1. Good ad

Simple, quiet, nice. Very good.

[Mz Pip]

2. After serious consideration

I am choosing Edwards as my second choice. He continually runs a positive message.

I kind of like the idea of a Clark/Edwards ticket. :-)

5. Dream ticket

Would be undefeatable. Bush would have NO chance of reelection.

3. That ad is stunning. Just like the candidate. Please take a look. Please.

I know Dean has appropriated the term, but John Edwards' campaign is, in fact "The Perfect Storm."

I hope I get to see that ad on a bigger screen. This is almost surreal. Wonderful, but almost surreal.

4. That there is no V.O. and no talking in that ad is very interesting.

[JohnKleeb]

6. Well done

I liked it

[Syn_Dem]

7. Very nice ad.

I approve this message :)

[sandnsea]

8. Okay, that was good....

Wow! I loved it. Just really makes you feel respected and ready to go caucus for John! Great!

[chimpymustgo]

9. His time is now. Your time is now. Our time is now.

I love the way this theme has found his campaign. It started with the Des Moines Register endorsement: "his time is now", which rejected the argument that Edwards doesn't have enough experience.

This amazing ad reaches out to voters who are looking for a positive vision for America: your time is now.

I just opened my mail and had a letter from the campaign:

our time is now.

10. My good friend went to Iowa to work for Kerry, now he's helping both

Edwards and Kerry.

He said that they have by far the 2 most friendly campaigns

11. I suspect that when KKKRove and Co saw that ad,

they were NOT smiling. To think of what they might do, makes me worry a lot. There is no way they could want Edwards on the ticket, much less at its top!!

[rumguy]

12. sweet ad

[citizen snips]

13. Go Edwards!!!

Your time is now.

[mlawson]

14. His time is indeed now.

And just three weeks ago, I despaired of him ever 'catching on'.

I think he always knew he could do it.

[citizen snips]

15. Yes.

I use to underestimate Edwards and now with this surge I think many people are starting to give Edwards a second thought.

[AP]

16. I think not catching on early was part of the strategy.

I've always said he's on the right trajectory to win.

Tomrrow for him is always better than yesterday. I think it has always been that way for him throughout his life.

17. great ad

He's on CSPAN again from this am if anyone is interested. What a crowd and what a message. :)

[chimpymustgo]

18. Please, please, look at the ad. It sums it all up. Winner.

19. It will be interesting to see if the bush squad does a similar one.

Imitation is the sincerest form of praise, you know.

Hmmm, I am reminded of Ronnie's "Morning in America" ads now. Well, they did work.

[bearfartinthewoods]

32. yes you did. when my faith weakened you guys were always

very patient and positive. thanks

[clockwrkorange]

20. the ad didn't work

I couldn't get the ad to play on my computer.

[AP]

21. on the blog there was discussion about why it wouldn't run on some compute

Do you have virus detection software on?

[maddezmom]

22. try again

it worked for me.

[newyawker99]

28. Hi clockwrkorange!!

Welcome to DU!! :toast:

[Adjoran]

23. I am uncommitted

and I have to say: that is THE best ad, bar none, I've seen in this election cycle.

IMHO, if we are to win in November, we will need to be running ads similar to this most of the time.

It's not enough to point out the outrages, errors, and weaknesses of the opponent. We need to give the American people a positive message of who we are and where we want to take the country.

Still undecided, but John Edwards' stock has been soaring over the last couple of weeks, in my book.

[chimpymustgo]

24. Bush can't MAKE that kind of ad. He does not have that subtlety.

But Karl Rove must have had to change his pants.

[chimpymustgo]

25. Just look at this ad.

John Edwards' campaign for the Presidency is all coming together right here, right now. Please open the link, look at the ad. Thirty seconds says it all.

Our time is now.

[jenk]

26. very well done

[chimpymustgo]

27. Sunday morning, brand new day, your time is now KICK!

Take a look.

29. I Have Supported Edwards from the Beginning

I admire his tenacity and his true "above the fray" stance on neg. attacks. This ad is one of the best I've seen. And now, it's all coming together for him. Even if he doesn't win the nomination, I hope he's on the ticket as VP or in a Democratic cabinet. He's an articulate, caring man and we need more people like him in government

[spooky3]

30. Hey, Pop, we're growing in numbers. (eom)

[arewethereyet]

31. as have I, I saw his mettle immediately

some rare people have the ability to make a strong, immediate impression on you, Edwards is one, Clinton was one even Carter to a lesser degree and of course Kennedy (JFK nothte others).

I started with his platform as I do with these sorts of situations. It was studied and right on the money for what's happening in America. Then as I came to know the man... well that was all I needed.

None of the others come close.

Go Edwards !

[chimpymustgo]

33. He's on C-SPAN now.

That merits a kick.

[ArtieBoy]

34. n/t

I am ArtieBoy and I approve John Edwards' message!

[calimary]

35. This Dean supporter thinks that was a terrific ad!

Hey, if John Edwards does well, it's all good. Every time I see a Wesley Clark bumper sticker, frankly, I get as cheered up as I do when I see a Dean bumper sticker. When I see evidence of Kerry appreciation, it pleases me. When I see a Kucinich sign, I am pleased. ANY of these is good. ANY. It's only the occasional "bush/cheney 04" bumper sticker that blackens my mood.

Here in So Cal, I do not see many Edwards signs or bumper stickers. I suspect the results in Iowa AND New Hampshire will have a major bearing on what further stickers I DO see.

But ANY Dem who does well is potentially great news. I would support ANY of 'em. Dean's top on my list, but ANY of 'em are more than okay by me. I'd hold my nose for Lieberman, but at least he wouldn't surround himself with the Neocon bastards bush has.

[chimpymustgo]

36. Great ad...go DEMS.

It feels great to be a Democrat. The future is ours.
