You have to see this Obama ad by a reader on MYdd.

It is so cool if you are a supporter of Obama. It shows all the top candidates about Iraq. At the end it shows Obama in Springfield. The music is just haunting and a perfect touch. The reader signon name is LovingJ.

1. Excellent ad!

[Colobo]

2. This needs to be kicked!

3. I was really blown away by it. I think the music really makes it more powerful

[Colobo]

4. Yep. Powerful indeed...

I don't think many people here will touch this, though... :)

5. I do hope some view it as it is a good ad. It's on youtube so maybe more will see it.

6. Bet it was put together on an Apple on Saturday and the Obama people had nothing to do w/ it

:-)

Actually I doubt it is anything the Obama folks put out. Other than flip/flop on stand by your vote (Edwards) and flipflop on date certain (Hillary) it has little other than PBS music and war dead photos -

I don't think anti-war will be decisive because everyone is anti-war. And Obama's votes in the Senate on the war being identical with Hillary takes a lot of steam out of the point (the only vote they differ on was her rejection of a nominee than Obama approved of despite the nominee's war posture). And going forward they both want out but with a residual force left behind in Iraq - not a pull out to other counties only.

Obama is doing a great job selling "hope" - and this ad goes in that direction only at the very end.

I give it two stars.

7. I really thought it was good. Maybe because I was in Springfield that day...

Both of these together show who was really for the war; and who wasn't.

8. Really does a job on Edwards...

...and the music truly is haunting ~ similar to what they use in holocaust pieces. The message seems to be doomsday vs hope.

[Colobo]

9. "Doomsday vs. Hope"... that's what this is all about!

[Telly Savalas]

16. It would have been nice to see Edwards' response to the question.

[nevergiveup]

10. style/presentation 1 star

content 1 1/2 stars....I doubt that Obama would approve this message.

[THUNDER HANDS]

11. nice music

but it was a bit long.

12. Great Ad!

13. kick and big R

[Sick_of_Rethuggery]

14. This is terrific...

Also watch the Edwards smack down video while you are on this page. While this one is emotionally powerful, the other one is exceptionally focused and on the money...

Thanks for the link...
