That's a great spot and to the point....

It's gonna be very interesting to see what Hillary has to say tonight and how she says it. She could be a hero if she does it right. She has a lot of pressure on her, that's for sure.

I like the way the thoughts are tied together in that ad. Simple but straight to the point with one thought enforcing another.

If she doesn't do the right thing...she won't have a chance in hell of ever becoming prez.

it's the democrats fault for the oil prices. i thought it was the falling dollar that has devalued 40% last 6 yrs. the (D)congressional members are on break i believe are making a good move here demanding compromise. the (R) are clearly using this to fool the vulnerable public. drilling will do little to nothing short term. in addition to that the oil would go on the world market.

challenge to the Dems?

I hope so!

Outstanding! Sending link to others now.. :-)

A bitter at :36 !!

I'm all about unity, but I won't hug a bitter until they put their guns down (bibles are ok).

If Pelosi & Reid had a tiny stone between them (to match the puniness of their collective intellect), they'd causes to be drafted off-shore drilling legislation which would require the refinement and sale of that oil--or any resource recovered from such exploration and exploitation--to the USer people, alone. It would also forbid NEW leases for off-shore exploitation until development had been either begun or proved unsustainable in existing leases.

Such a piece of legislation would answer the 'popular' furor for action now, and it should amply demonstrate what legislators were in and out of the pockets of the mega-Corps, which is why--of course--no such bill will EVER be introduced.

Another thing which, if the protestations of the powerful were taken at face value, should be on the agenda of the Next presnint is 'nationalization' of the energy industry.

It makes no sense, from a nationalistic, patriot perspective to permit the ownership of "vital national security resources" by international (albeit nominally "Murkin") corporations.

I'll believe "change" is on the horizon when the sails of either of those two legislative frigates are sighted along the shores of the Potomac...

My only criticism is that the aerial crowd shot at the end is so badly cloned and pieced together that it is obvious they have tried to make a crowd of twenty appear to be 1000. The text and delivery by the actors is very strong though as is the editing. Deal with the bad clone job and I think its great.

Sorry, but the ad's just not my cup of tea at the moment. A bit overly-dramatic. I'm having a hard time mustering up hope that things are gonna turn around any time soon. Anything less than sweeping and monumental gains in November will mean more of the same and even with that I wonder...what with "conservative" democrats and rightwing control of major Media.

When I hear that polls are close I throw my hands up in exasperation and the fact that the Dems did *nothing* about paperless e-voting machines since winning in 2006 makes me fear for the worse.

I like the content but am so tired of this particular "style" of commercial. The format of different people saying all the parts of a monologue is getting boring. I would like to see something different, something a little more fresh.

At least there wasn't any overlap during the transitions, or repeating like the last bit of a phrase, that is really beat.

Boring.

Now they've gone too far...

Fox News Says: CNN Is Partisan & Jon Stewart Is Out Of Touch

While it is just plain stupid to accuse others of being biased, they be really sorry that they attacked Jon Stewart!

Stewart pillories them almost nightly. The Faux folks understandably resent it a little when the mere repetition of a Faux clip can elicit howls and gales of derisive laughter from a rendomly selected studio audience. My fondest wish for Murdoch (who by the way owns a beeeg piece of St. Barry) and Faux would be that they feast upon their own excrement sufficiently that they rather painfully expire.

we know nationalization won't happen any time soon. i
don't know enough about their strategy but it seems to me reid/pelosi are countering the (R) with an offer they will refuse. i believe i read or heard a while back that some foreign oil companies were not paying the agreed
royalties to u.s. tax payors for the drilling/land leases.
this is also being challenged....if granted my understanding is the oil wouldn't be available for a good ten yrs. and have little effect on prices. i'm not sure the oil lobby's would allow this oil to only be sold to u.s.
i still believe this quick price jump was due to speculators and i understand we need/will always have speculation but there could be some regulation requiring leverage to cost more.

This spot should go national. Can the DNC get the rights to play this all over the country? I'd love to see this played at the convention!

Real good ad. Made me a little sad.

We'll see how so called liberal media will handle the new revelation about Gerald Ford being a SNITCH for the FBI , because the complicit elite media will ignore the new FACTS , from RELEASED DOCUMENTS . I found this on What really Happen .com , the site that doesn't bother with baseless accusation arguments , but speaks truth to power .

While on the Warren Commission during the JFK investigation , Gerald Ford was an informant for the FBI and informed them that TWO members , doubted that Oswald killed JFK .

Google Ford , FBI , Informant .

Yay Oregon, we rock!!!

We are the Oregon Borg Party. Resistance is futile.

How do you all like knowing the FBI and homeland security moniter every e-mail and posting we do on internet, we are living under a dictatorship, elections will never make a difference now, people are even scared to vote thier conscience.

I'm sure Hillary will say all the right things tonight (as she has to with so much attention on this speech) but it won't change anything. The damage is done.

I wish they had given her a speaking slot sometime during the day on Monday, between some random high school choir and the guy who reminded the delegates to fill out their forms.

Wow! The Oregon ad is wonderful!!

Friggin A this is SO well done, can someone explain why it is not running in all 50? JUST don't over play it -- how about mixing in some different tag lines at the end like ---- "LISTENING MR. MCcain?"

Great stuff! Two comments. When the crowd first comes together, it's hard to understand what they're saying. And, in the last (aerial) shot of the crowd, it's hard not to conclude that it was Photoshopped. You can almost see the squares outling the cut-and-paste. Touch it up, Oregonians.

is that Lindsey Lohan?
