We ran "It Could Happen to You"
This humorous ad was a finalist in the "Obama in 30 seconds" contest and shows actors talking about having caught "hope" as though it's a contagious disease.
We ran "Timeline"
In July, the Iraqi government demanded a timeline to end to the war joining others in the US including Senator Obama. Everyone except John McCain.
We ran "Cusack: Bush-McCain Challenge"
John Cusack appears in this ad daring Americans to try to tell John McCain and George Bush apart by taking the "Bush-McCain Challenge."
We ran "Fire Charlie Black"
John McCain has surrounded himself by lobbyists in his campaign, none more concerning than his senior campaign advisor Charlie Black whose firm lobbied for dictators and war criminals.
We ran "My Friends Mess"
As the economy went into meltdown in September, this ad shows John McCain and his advisors' ties to deregulation and the mortgage industry and financial collapse.
We ran "Gimmick"
This summer, when Americans were feeling the energy crisis, John McCain's only idea was to drill--an agenda that would help no one but the oil companies. Americans want solutions to the energy problems, not gimmicks.
