Sounds like Barack read my campaign piece "I'm not a perfect candidate"

I saw this ad or one very similar last night during the 11pm news. Very long (2mins?) and very effective.
Why we should vote for OBAMA!
by Will Roberts
I want to pass by you folks an epiphany I had the other day. I was at the Obama rally here is Phoenix, AZ. I could go on and on about this whole experience, but I will wait and give it its own full, blank piece of paper at a later date. All I will tell you is, if you ever wanted to get the sensation of walking on water, this was the event for you. The thousands of folks there were energized to be there and, when Obama walked out, we all became electrified. By the end, we were enlightened. We could have lit the city for the next 10 years … But, here is what I noticed: Of the thousands of folks that were there to see Obama, I am guessing that 50% were 30 – 70 years old, the other 50% were young folks, kids, teens, 20s; and, they were all fired up to meet this man. The man of change. Here is what dawned on me, where as Gorge Bush and all the rest of the politicians ON BOTH SIDES have turned the American voters off from voting, ("My vote does not matter.")
Obama has reached down to the young folks, gotten them to become present, and COUNTED for. If we elect this candidate, we not only gain a qualified president, but a unified country. For the past 20 so years, we have become victims of our government. Sitting on the sidelines hoping, or losing hope, that things would work out-- and they have not.
If Obama becomes president, we will usher in a new generation of interactive voters. The children are our future; and, if we don't elect him, I fear we will lose even more of the heart of our country, not just the young at heart, THE YOUNG will lose their heart for our country. I really do wish that Hillary had the younger audience as well, but she does not. They say that we all work to be better than our parents. But, what they don't tell us is that it is our job as the parent to set our kids on that path.
one of the last Democratic debate was exciting to see these two fine candidates agree on at least one thing, and that was that whichever way voters went, the party would follow what the PEOPLE of the United States want! If you think that the Super Bowl is a great ticket event, hang on to your playbooks, Patriots! Wait and see if it does not wind up being: Clinton and Obama OR Obama and Client.

This is an exciting day, Dave. My county, Sonoma, in California just now completed the final vote counts for our Feb. 5 election. We had a record 72.6 percent of registered voters cast ballots. Wow! And it was the Clinton/Obama contest that drove that turnout. Obama won here by 6,100 votes, and he and Clinton are expected to split our six 6th District delegates. We're still waiting for four of our state counties to report final election results.
And of course, the LA County registrar is still going back and forth on whether to count all the votes that were cast by non-partisan (decine-to-state) voters. Their ballots were stupidly designed, not understood by many poll workers, and confusing to tens of thousands of voters. (LA County is our largest U.S. county, larger than many of our states, so this is no small matter.) The ballots were approved by the prior registrar, a former Diebold sales rep, who quit only one month before the election, just so she wouldn't have to answer to this intentional mess she left for her replacement, who was recommended by her.
You guys in Ohio have a history of even more elections problems than we do, so it'll be very interesting to read about all of them tomorrow.
Rotsaruck, Ohio!
Anecdotal information even here in my GOP leaning area suggests that Obama will do well. I'm hearing a surprising number of people telling me they're voting for Obama.
I'm also hearing that the polls are packed in spite of the crummy weather.
7:47 p.m., EST Where's the live blogging from our trustiest Midwest correspondent here? You mean you want us relying on those pinheads and spinclots at CNN and Fox?
Dave, what's happening in Ohio?
