Another strong and presidential-looking commercial from Barack Obama:
Although I worry again about whether people will sit through a two-minute ad, I think he is in good form here. The message is clear and to the point. The Republicans are hitting Obama with tax-and-spend ads all over the place, so I think it’s helpful for him to explain what’s in his economic plan and that he won’t raise taxes on anyone making less than $250,000 per year.
Also, the relatively intimate setting of Obama speaking directly to the camera is a good antidote to the Republican spin about him being a hyped-up celebrity. Don’t know where this is running.
I also love this new anti-McCain ad called “Parachute,” which Obama is running on national cable networks:
We almost never watch television. Is anyone still seeing Obama or McCain ads in Iowa (I mean other than on national cable news networks)?

Ads in Iowa
I hate to admit that I watch too much TV (via Tivo,) but I can assure you that both candidates’ ads are playing non-stop. (A quick note: a friend told me they are both running constantly on the soaps, often back-to-back).

I like both of them
The first one is long. Maybe it is for the internet.

no, it's supposedly for tv
even though it’s two minutes long. He also ran another two-minute ad a week or two ago.
Seems very expensive as well as long. I don’t know which states it’s running in.
