I ended up with:
1. Dennis Kucinich
2. Bill Richardson
3. Mike Gravel

Not really into American politics, so the only name that sounds vaguely familiar is Bill Richardson.


I'm going for Obama though, seems like the right guy.

This God stuff isn't just talk with Huck. One of his first acts as governor was to block Medicaid from funding an abortion for a mentally retarded teenager who had been raped by her stepfather -- an act in direct violation of federal law, which requires states to pay for abortions in cases of rape. "The state didn't fund a single such abortion while Huckabee was governor," says Dr. William Harrison of the Fayetteville Women's Clinic. "Zero."

Between Ron Paul, Huckabee, and Giuliani, I don't think I've ever encountered more ridiculous advertisements in my life.

i have no idea whats going on in any of this (lol ignorant non-american) but do ANY politicians record their own advert speeches? the two i just listened to were HEY IM A GUY AND I SUPPORT THIS MESSAGE

i guess. it just seems really cold and distant and impersonal to me. i guess that's a culture thing, though.

well you have to keep in mind, they've sold almost EVERYONE they need to sell to get their votes, except for independents. now there are a few people who, yes, will want the candidate to speak for themself, but there are also those who are drawn in by brilliant promises, the same kind of dude who gets kind of excited by just a message and graphics. so you have about half and half; we only link the ones that are hilarious (and usually those are the message/graphics ones) so you aren't seeing the ones where people talk.

that and what's more effective? an ad where the President says (like all Presidents) "I will keep this country safe" or

he rode into the White House on this ad.

*Ron Paul doesn't go the gym. He stays fit by exercising his civil rights.

I thought that one was really funny.

you know, it's really amazing to me how important TV advertisements are to the American public. They're insignificant in Dutch politics. It's much more important here to simply be seen on independent TV shows and in the newspapers. They do run advertisements, but they're usually crammed into tiny "political message" time slots, which are equally distributed to the contesting parties.

Last time we had elections, there was one party (the VVD, a liberal party that suffered huge losses) that took a large TV advertisement offensive, showing about three per commercial block. It gave them absolutely nothing.
