"His Choice" - New Obama Ad

Move-On Moose Warns About Palin

A talking moose is the star of MoveOn.org's new TV ad, which will run in Iowa today and Friday in Des Moines and Sioux City, where Palin is scheduled to hold rallies. The ad ran yesterday in Cincinnati, Cleveland and Dayton, where Palin was campaigning in Ohio.

"Ain't Funny - Vice President" - New Ad for Obama

The Jewish Alliance for Change is launching a series of three ads in swing states that use humor and celebrity narration to go after John McCain.

An ad titled "Ain't Funny -- Vice President" features old-time movie and TV stars such as Carl Reiner, Danny Devito, and Jerry Stiller riffing on topics ranging from the price of gas ("it costs more than the car") to health care and Sarah Palin.

The spots will air Florida, Ohio and Pennsylvania - states that have large swaths of elderly voters - according to a spokesperson for the organization. The group has bought time during the last week of the election on the major cable news networks

Obama Makes Play for Videogamers

Yes, that is a billboard for Barack Obama in the Xbox 360 racing game Burnout Paradise. It's part of an unusual ad buy for a political campaign, and a sign that the Obama camp is leaving no stone unturned and no road untraveled in his quest for the presidency of the United States of America.

The "ads" are appearing from October 6 through November 3 and will be visible to players in 10 US states who play the Xbox games online against each other using Xbox Live. Games included in the ad buy are "Burnout Paradise," "Madden 09," "Nascar 09," "NHL 09" and "Skate".

"This Year" - Latest Obama Ad

In a quick response to the character assaults being launched his way, Barack Obama is out with a new ad today that, while attempting to place his candidacy above the fray, also digs John McCain as "erratic". Watch:

"Zero" - Obama Post-Debate Ad

"Zero" highlights how many times McCain mentioned the middle class in the first Presidential Debate and features footage from that debate where Obama gave his thoughts on the fundamentals of the economy and explained how John McCain's policies are just a continuation of the last eight years. On the air. . .

Obama Responds to BornAliveTruth.org Attack

Barack Obama is airing a new ad in New Mexico and Ohio that defends his abortion rights record and says Republican rival John McCain backs a party platform that would deny abortions to victims of rape and incest.

The ad is in response to an independent ad campaign, financed by an anti-abortion philanthropist, that singles out Obama's efforts in the Illinois Senate to defeat the Born Alive Infants Protection Act:



As an Illinois state senator, Obama opposed three legislative efforts in 2001, 2002 and 2003 to give legal protections to any aborted fetus that showed signs of life. The 2003 measure was virtually identical to a bill President Bush signed into law in 2002 that unanimously passed the U.S. Senate.

Obama and other opponents of the Illinois bill have noted the state already had a law to protect aborted fetuses born alive and considered able to survive. Moreover, they said the proposed legislation would have undermined the landmark Supreme Court case on abortion, Roe v. Wade, in ways the federal law would not. Among those opposed to the state effort was the Illinois State Medical Society, which argued that the bill would interfere with the doctor-patient relationship and expand civil liability for doctors.

Obama Ad - "Need Education"

Late today, the Obama campaign released a new ad hitting McCain for his opposition to equal pay. The spot, titled "Need Education," was narrated by Lilly Ledbetter, the Alabama woman whose Supreme Court case led to 2007 fair pay legislation.

"Pro-Life, Anti-McCain"

Catholics United today unveiled a new ad campaign asking why Senator John McCain has voted against health care and effective assistance to pregnant women, children, and families -- and for the war in Iraq. The ad will run on cable television in heavily Catholic areas of Ohio, Pennsylvania, and Michigan. "It's not enough to say you're pro-life," the narrator says. "Actions speak louder than words." Watch:

Obama on the Economy and Partisanship

Barack Obama's campaign is releasing a new television ad in which the Senator, speaking directly to the camera, lays out his economic agenda and positions himself as an above-partisanship leader on this tattered front.

The spot, which lasts two-minutes (suggesting an expensive ad buy), takes no direct digs at John McCain. Rather, the Senator casts blame for much of the current economic crises on government as a whole and takes a subtle jab at the media as well:

Planned Parenthood Defends Obama

Planned Parenthood defends Barack Obama's record on sex education after a nasty John McCain ad suggesting the Democrat supports teaching kindergartners about sex. In an ad, they say that Obama was helping children protect themselves from sex offenders, while McCain seemingly doesn't care.

"Every eight minutes a child is sexually abused," the narrator says. "That's why Barack Obama supported legislation to teach children how to protect themselves. Now John McCain is twisting the facts and attacking Senator Obama. Doesn't McCain want our children to protect ourselves from sex offenders? Or after 26 years in Washington, is he just another politician who will say anything to get elected?"

Watch:

"No Maverick"

Adhering to the "hit-back" policy that dictates his campaign strategy, Barack Obama released a response ad Monday evening, declaring the Republican ticket a group of wanna-be mavericks.

Titled "No Maverick," the spot replays the Obama camp's go-to "more of the same" message, only this time bringing Sarah Palin into the equation. There is even the obligatory flip-flop charge for the Alaska governor's position on the "Bridge to Nowhere":

"Broken Record"

If it seems like a broken record, that's because it is:

"No Change"

Obama's first post-Palin ad:

New Obama Ad - "McCain Don't Know Much"

To the tune of Sam Cooke's "Wonderful World," a vocalist sings of John McCain: "I'm not up on the economy ... don't know much about industry ... really can't explain the price of gas ... or what has happened to the middle class." At the end, the ad features no less than three pictures of McCain and President Bush together, with the lyrics "If I could be just like you ... what a wonderful world it would be." A narrator concludes, "Do we really want four more years of the same old tune?" Watch:

"Out of Touch" -2nd McMansions ad from Obama

The Obama campaign has debuted it's second ad in as many days on McCain's multiple houses. Entitled "Out of Touch," it bemoans McCain's "country club economics" and features a video clip of the Arizonan tooling around in a golf cart with former President George H.W. Bush, presumably while unaware of the number of houses he and his wife own:

Obama's Faith Focused in New Ad

Matthew 25, a young, politically progressive religious organizations, is out with a highly personalized television ad propping up Barack Obama on issue of faith and values:

Obama "Three Bedroom Ranch"

The Obama campaign unveiled a new TV ad today that will run during the Olympics. Titled "Three Bedroom Ranch," it pushes a positive economic message much like the Olympic buy the Obama camp has been running up to this point. This one, unlike the last, puts emphasis on reorganizing tax-policy priorities (lowering middle class taxes, ending tax breaks for corporations taking jobs oversees) as opposed to energy:
