Whoever delivers that message with credibility should do well." Actually, I disagree when it comes to major candidates, because of deep seated prejudices against race, gender, and religion. As soon as I think the USA is finally beyond these prejudices, then there is a situation like the TN race Ford black man/white woman TV ad that turns Ford's seeming win into a loss. And I too often overhear some small minded people at work or out on the town, making fun of Hillary without any real basis, but simple because of who she is (a woman, Bill's wife, a liberal, a health care reformer, blah blah). Frankly, I hope I am wrong, I have a small problem with Hillary being to politically coy and so far I have no problem with Obama, but the backlash is starting already-- http://www.huffingtonpost.com/eric-schmeltzer/is-obama-ready-sit-tight_b_36462.html http://www.huffingtonpost.com/eat-the-press/2006/12/14/touchy-touchy-barack-ob_e_36381.html --but I'd like to decide as MLK dreamed--based on the 'content of their character'. “I think the theme for 2008 will be “Clean up the Mess.â€?

That's certainly a grey area. Regarding ad buys for candidates, this is becoming more common. It's very cheap to buy ads on candidates names - especially in local races. One thing I've done is create my own voting guide, then buy terms like "polling locations" geotargeted to voters in Minneapolis. At around a nickel a click, I can usually share my opinions on the entire ballot with a few thousand prospective voters on their way to the poll. I'm not sure how that ties to benefiting individual candidates, disclosures, etc. I think the theme for 2008 will be "Clean up the Mess."

To your question about Obama's campaign--yes, he will run, and no, he will not last the campaign although he is a viable VP candidate for Edwards or someone more mainstream. Making it to be president is all about being the ultimate in being mainstream, and charisma is only a factor between the mainstream candidates (like Edwards vs McCain). America is not ready for a black (just think of all the fuss about the n-word from a comic recently) and I don't even see the country ready for a Hillary yet. CAFFEINATION is working.

All political posting is a form of punditry, often link-laden back to the poster's own blog, which is often exclusively political. Toward that end, isn't DraftObama partly/somewhat/mostly/exclusively an attempt to cash in 10 cents per click on anyone curiously attracted to Obama's current political buzz? What's the disclusure rule on this...certainly this must be covered in the 528, 529, 530 campaign financing regulations, eh? ;-) Sorry, I'm just rambling now...CAFFEINATION!! “It’s not every day that I get a chance to read a post involving both online advertising and politics”
