Favorite campaign advertisements? Past or present, post the link here and tell us why you like them!
I thought this would be a fun idea so we can put the bickering aside for a minute....

What's your favorite campaign advertisements?

Tell us which advertisement it is, explain the advertisement, tell us the candidate, and tell us why you like it. And post the YouTube URL if you can find it!

It can be from this election or any previous election.

Here's some of mine:

This one is titled "Lifetime" and it's from John Kerry's campaign in 2004. It's basically a timeline of his life, and provides the theme of a "Lifetime of service and strength" the Kerry-Edwards campaign was playing up in the General Election.

This is another one from 2004 for Kerry-Edwards, John Kerry's final pitch to the American people called "Your Hands" where John Kerry says if you believe we need to end the war, invest in jobs, invest in stem cell research, etc. then it's time for a new start. I remember back in 2004 seeing this advertisement, and feeling hope!

This one is called "Grown Up" and it's from this primary season from John Edwards. It shows Clinton and Obama going back and forth attacking one another, and John Edwards looking like the grown up in the room saying it wasn't about them--it's about what they're trying to do for the country. How come this man isn't our nominee? Sheesh.

This is another from John Edwards. It asks a question that really should be asked sometimes by members of our great party. It starts with the line "What's happened to the Democratic Party? What's happened to the party of the people?"

Here are four others I like from John Edwards, I believe all four are pre-Iowa

"Power"- http://youtube.com/watch?v=xCIg4Mbvap4
"Born For"- http://youtube.com/watch?v=wnv_J5UYmwM
"Fight"- http://youtube.com/watch?v=90kiOdnkw3Y
"Voice"- http://youtube.com/watch?v=RDkqtdAkxzA

This is my favorite campaign advertisement, and the best of this season. It's from John Edwards called "Choice"

unfortunately, it was one for the bad guys, in 1978.

Frikin' Saatchi brothers!
