Putting our ideas into ads...EARMARKS AD
Seems like a lot of us on this site have suggestions for what the Obama campaign should be saying/doing. Nothwithstanding the "free advice is worth..." cliche, I had an idea. Why not at least post potential ad ideas and hope that maybe they spark something. We saw it with the "Lipstick Pig" ad on the mothership site. Now, I'm not technically savvy enough to do the YouTube mashup versions or anything, so I have to stick to plain old type. And since my "real job" means I don't have a lot of time to put into this, I'm probably not being as thorough as many of you may want or could be. But what the heck. Lemme throw this out and show you what I mean:
Start w/a clip of McCain saying Obama has requested nearly a billion in earmarks, then come to a screetching halt. Narrator: "No, that wasn't Barack Obama, that was John McCain's running mate. She's requseted over $750m in earmarks for Alaska; more per person than any other state in the nation. And that's just as governor. She even hired Washington lobbists, like the dozens now running John McCain's campaign, to score over $25 million in earmarks for her town of 5,000 people. Seems John McCain can't decide whether earmarks are good or bad. We don't need any more of the same old hypocricy from our elected officials. America doesn't need more of the same. It's time for a change."
