Obama: McCain is only showing he is good senator.

It's readily obvious how in the past few days McCain has been very publicly working in congress while Obama has taken the more subtle route. We need to show that McCain's reckless tactic of suspending his campaign and dancing around Washington may be what a good Senator does, but Obama is showing the characteristics of what a great president does.

In public appearances, stop using "you" and start using "we/us"

Barack is doing a great job of trying to create a more personal connection with voters, but to subtly emphasize that fact, he needs to switch from using "you" with voters to "we/us." Imagine how much more powerful this line would have been, if he'd altered it just slightly in this way: "Who is it that he's going to tell that change is coming?

CHECK THIS OUT...NOT FAILED POLICIES

Create an ad that says "The Bush-McCain policies are not failed policies - they are policies that did exactly what they were designed to do - and that is to push big oil to record profits and to give tax cuts to the rich while the middle class continues to suffer. These are not failed policies, heck, even John McCain says the fundamentals of the economy are strong."

More donaters for obama than voters

when you look at sheer numbers more people have donated to your historic campaign than people who have voted for sarah palin in her entire political career. This statistic is very compelling and would look great on paper and it would stir conversation on the news.

Create Commercial Using "Drill Baby Drill" footage

Create a commercial using footage from the Republican National Convention, when, during Rudy's speech, the crowd started chanting "Drill Baby Drill". Then, using either a voice over, text over, or a split screen with one half showing the crowd/playing the audio, explain in simple terms how the US only has 3% of the world's fuel and uses 25%.

Actions speak louder than words.

Barack has been great in all his speaches. His promises sound so wonderful, id like to see a little more action and focus on what each candidate can do for this country not what they think about each other. We need a leader someone who will make the best decisions and bring this nation together as a whole under god so that we can turn things back around.

For the love of God, he's SENATOR OBAMA, not Barack

Our main obstacle in an election against a war hero is to pass the supposed "Commander in Chief Test," and the Obama campaign makes this exponentially more difficult every time we hear that "Barack thinks this" or "Barack will do that." Yes, it's a mouthful, but "Senator Obama" must be his go-to name if he's to be taken seriously on a gut level.

Responsibility of the VP ad

The ad begins with a shot of the White House with the flag half mast.
"Nine vice presidents have had the responsibility of assuming the presidency in times of national turmoil."
-
A photo of Barack Obama thinking at his desk pans across.
"Barack Obama understands how important it is to chose someone who could assume that mantel."

keep an eye on who is advertising on this site

to everyone in new media departmentt... this is an awesome site... however, you guys need to watch out for internet advertising... i know that the obama web advert team is small, has only 2 desks and is used to buying ad space instead of selling it.

but seriously... watch what gets onto this site... i just saw an advertisment for the "case against barack obama" book...
