After some rumors that the Reverend Al Sharpton hated Senator and presidential hopeful Barack Obama, Sharpton says they had a nice phone call yesterday. Sharpton, who just last week told Fox News he believed that Obama's campaign floated the story that he was jealous of the Senator, now says, "We had a good conversation. He said he's got a lot of respect for me and what I've done. We agreed to keep in touch." However, Sharpton won't be endorsing any Democratic candidates until next month, so we'll see how much respect remains after that. Related: The Sun-Times had an interesting story on Sharpton's "badmouthing" of Obama.
And then there's the instant classic mashup of the Apple commercial 1984 and Hillary Clinton clips that becomes a Vote for Obama message. Obama's camp denies they have anything to do with the video, but told the San Francisco Chronicle, "there is a lot of energy for Sen. Obama on the Web, in communities all over the country ... and frankly, that energy will manifest itself in a lot of ways."
Obama will be on Larry King Live tonight; Sharpton is supposed to appear separately, probably to discuss the Bell shooting indictments.

Thats actually an Apple commercial, first released in 1984 for the first line of Macintosh computers, then redone in 2004 to sell the iPod. Jen, don't you work in advertising? This ad is a classic, you should know this!
With all due respect to Republicans, I would not be surprised if I were to discover that (not so moral) Republican made that video. Obama and his team are adamantly against dirty politics. That video is a sad comment on America.
It wasn't a Nike commercial, it was a Apple computer commercial.
Gah! I'd been reading about Wieden & Kennedy withdrawing from the Nike review all day (on top of watching some crap on TV about celebrity feuds, like McCartney being upset with Michael Jackson for selling rights to Revolution for Nike)! Apologies!
I believe you mean " instant classic mashup of the [i]Apple[/i] commercial 1984."
I find it hard to believe that any Democrat made that video.
If Hillary claims she doesn't only want the people that already agree with her then why has she thus far only pandered to her base? Why won't she give details to her plans on "the issues"? How is dhe going to line up "hard working" "patriots" if nobody has a clue what he actually policy positions are? It's like 2004 and 2000 all over again.
stop saying "mashup"
The irony of using that 80's Apple ad is that the PC is still dominant in the marketplace over the Mac, more than 20 years after the ad first ran. If Obama is comparing Hillary to the PC and himself to the a Mac, he's also setting himself up to be see as the darling of the far left wine & cheese arty crowd while the Clinton juggernaut takes the blue collar/unions/moderates and wins the Democratic nomination handily.
I'm surprised no one has yet to comment on this: "Sharpton won't be endorsing any Democratic candidates until next month"
Come on, can we wait until maybe it's less than 9 months to the first primaries!
the Clinton juggernaut takes the blue collar/unions/moderates and wins the Democratic nomination handily.
Here's one moderate that isn't backing Hillary.
It's funny that you know This is not done by his campaign and you have no proof that This was done by his campaign and you're suggesting that you're suggesting that this ad was made by his campaign.
Very Shame on your reporting.
i'm already sick of obama, he speaks in grand generalities and has no substance to what he says. Not that I'm a huge Hilary supporter either. I dont think either one stands a chance in a general election and both would be a mistake for the democrats to run with in '08.
Obama, he speaks in grand generalities and has no substance to what he says
If you can find any details from Hillary Clinton do pass them along. The only one I DO know is that she plans to leave some troops in Iraq. I'm still waiting to hear how she's going to insure 40 million people AND stop the growth rate in medical prices.
"Here's one moderate that isn't backing Hillary."
Hey, you're right---there is one! Won't you get lonely out there all by yourself, though?
