Which Obama ad has been the most effective so far?

[Honeycombe8]

My choice is The Stage ad.

It's playing a lot in Ohio, I think.

There have been several really good, effective ads. But every time I see The Stage ad, I get a lump in my throat. The humiliation of firing the men on the very stage they had just been required to build. The cruelty of it. It gets to me.

1. I have yet to actually see one on the teevee machine, but I can tell you which one is my favorite:

#t=0s

2. That's my favorite as well. "Firms" is my second favorite.

6. Oh, yeah. That was a great one. It'll be shown years from now as an example...

of a great political ad.

I don't see any ads on tv. I'm in Republican Texas. Except when I see them on talk shows on MSNBC & CNN. Or on the internets.

8. It was a brilliant move by Obama

to run these ads during the summer and define Romney. He's shaped the narrative when it comes to who Romney is. Meanwhile Romney was hoarding money to spend now, but now the race is essentially over. Romney has been completely outmaneuvered.

7. That's a great ad. Too bad it never played here

in the swing state of Colorado. The Bain busting ads ran here early in the summer, though and were very effective on swing moderates in my family. The new "don't knock the workers" ad packs a punch and so did the "borrow from your parents". The ads focused on women issues were really weak though and were played way too much.

The new DNC web ad would play excellent here (get rid of the $10,000 segment though - it's not understandable).

9. There were some national cable ad buys

featuring this ad. You must've missed it.

3. The ones where Romney is speaking

4. I try not to watch ads

If they come on the TV, I switch the channel. I can't stand the ads, phone calls, fliers. It's just too much overkill.

5. i like the one that points out romney is lying
