Jenny and I sat down to watch the 30 minute commercial from Sen. Obama tonight. In short, it was a very powerful closing argument for his candidacy that I think will connect with average Americans who still might be on the fence about who to vote for next Tuesday.
The one thing lacking from it? Any kind of attack on John McCain, which was brilliant. The commercial stayed true to Sen. Obama’s campaign thus far, which is a message of hope, change, and working on the issues that matter to middle class Americans.
If the McCain campaign had the means to get out the same kind of 30 minute commercial on seven networks, I can’t help but think it would have been the exact opposite.
In all, a touching and effective closing argument from Sen. Obama tonight, and money well spent.
I live in the Washington Heights neighborhood of Milwaukee, WI with my wife Jen, our daughter Emerson, and sons Carter and Colton.
