The Campaign Ad I want to see:

[jpertello]

(my "Morning In America" ad.)
Who Do You Want To See in this building? Whom do you trust your safety to? Who do you think has the intelligence, acuity, good health, insight, even temperament and logical mind to make the right decisions for the United States of America. Which man understands the constitution and will uphold it's tenets faithfully?
Who will make the best impression to foreign leaders abroad and restore our reputation in the world? Who will probably read every piece of legislation and budget which comes across his desk not just because of his superior intelligence but because he genuinely cares to know every detail so he can make the right decisions for you, the citizen he serves? My friends, if you elect Barack Obama, he doesn't win alone. I win. You win. We all win. The United States deserves no less than the smartest guy in the room.

1. You could make your own ad and post it to YouTube.

You don't have to be an expert in graphics.

Just download some photos of Obama and the White House, etc., and use Windows Movie Maker or whatever free video editing software came with your computer.

I made a nice tribute to Obama a few months ago.

I would want some nice music playing and Morgan Freeeman's voice over. Is this asking too much?
;-)

Also, my campaign idea is only an idea. If someone out there can rewrite the copy in my ad to sound better (I'm not much of a writer; PR and marketing are what I do).

I think POSITIVE ads with the attitude of imagining a better America are more in keeping with B O's optimism and philosophy (not ineffective ads about J mCC not being computer literate)
