Obama: More passion in final debate.

You were collected, cool, knowledgeable, and eloquent in the second debate -- you obviously care, just make it more apparently that YOU feel these issues directly, not just the "the american people." You were almost too cool, we need more direct passion, rather than super-objectivity.

Obama ad: Let's talk about the issues

The Obama campaign needs to release a new ad that says:
Barack Obama has spent the last 2 years talking to the American people about the issues. John McCain doesn't want to talk about the issues. He would rather distract the public with issues that don't matter. Next time you see a McCain ad ask yourself "Does this man want me to vote for his stances on issues that matter to me?"

Ads that address the nation.

After seeing Obama's two minute ad on the economy, where he explained his ideas and didnt even mention mccain, i think that that is the right approach. The reason most of us support Obama is because we were able to see in him something that not many other politicians have.

Vote Smart - Vote Obama

A new campaign slogan is needed, since the Republicans hijacked the "change" one. Telling people to vote smart tells them to vote on issues, not just personality. We can't afford another election won on personality!

Ambition First

I've been thinking about the most effective way to undermine John McCain. In my eyes, it would be by recognising his strengths and showcasing his flip-flops. But not in a mocking "in your face" way, but more in a manner reminiscent of someone who somewhat rooted for him and became disillusioned. Here's the ad that might be worth airing across the swing states:
