1. I agree, it's a good point hitter. One of his best.
I assume this is being broadcast in Nevada?

2. THIS is the kind of Ad that WOULD BE A WINNER in the GENERAL ELECTION....
It is one of the best, most personally appealing ads I have seen in a long time.

Edwards supplies the personal desire and commitment that does not come across in HRC & BO ads.

18. Reminder - contribute directly through JohnEdwards.com
in order for Edwards to receive matching funds. :thumbsup:

Do NOT use ActBlue to donate, because they do not qualify for the matching funds.

Thank you!

28. you're exactly right!
"New: Your contribution could be doubled. Public campaign financing matches your personal contribution total up to $250."
:thumbsup:

5. That is a great ad
I think that he manages to hit on many of the topics that Democrats are thinking about most these days. I hope to see it running Nationwide in the near future.

Man, he does look young in the ad though, doesn't he? I know that he's in his 50s, but someone who didn't know better might see it and think that he's a guy in his early 30s.

6. Very nice! Thanks for pointing it out.
Hillary is my avatar at the moment, but I would be very happy with an Edwards victory.

10. The ad is spot on....but did anyone read through the comments?
I could only read a few. What a cesspool...much like Yahoo message boards, IMHO.

I've never read through comments at youtube before, simply watched the videos. I'm sticking with that from now on. LOL

This is a WONDERFUL ad and I wish it would spread like wildfire across the Internets! ;-)

26. it is indeed ugly out there.

i think it would be a good idea for hardcore edwards supporters to glance through the comments. they have been disabled because they were so vile. there is a lot of hatred out there for john and we are an important line of defense.

we are underground for a reason - it is because the Repugnicans are scorching the earth. They are raping these people's brains with memes about ambulance chasers and $400 haircuts.

It is hard to understand this for fans of JRE. But he can't win without attracting the hatred of these types. So I want to STUDY them. I want to give people tools to pick their arguments apart. I am so damn ready to fight for him in the blogosphere, hell I have been doing that for months now.

These bastards are attacking John in such ugly, repetitive ways. They are gaining their talking points from some right wing media outlet conspiracy as they sound more and more like robots repeating the same shit over and over. I want to prepare a Wu-Tang sword style in anticipation of a John Edwards victory. I will not have these midget limbaughs tarnish John Edwards.

I have serious sympathy for Hillary Clinton. She has been abused at the hands of these devils, who spew the same venom at Obama about the color of his skin. Demolishing these people's efforts feels very important, and it is a CAUSE FOR UNITY AMONG US HERE AT D.U. NO MATTER WHO WE SUPPORT.

That said, it redoubles my own commitment to fight for John Edwards. I am going to log into YouTube tomorrow, go back to that thread, and personally email every single negative commenter on that video. I encourage you to do the same. JOHN EDWARDS WILL NOT BE HILLARIED BY THE RIGHT WING MEDIA AND THEIR CACKLING LEGIONS. And I am going to do something about it!!!!

11. Interesting on the blink rate
I have noticed that John blinks rapidly during the debates, but he didn't blink once in this spot. I wonder if he is having issues with his contacts under the media lights.

This is one of my favorite spots of all of his ads. It nails the entire election in under a minute. We need a fighter.
