"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?

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.

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.

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.

she's all talk

the Clinton juggernaut takes the blue collar/unions/moderates and wins the Democratic nomination handily. Here's one moderate that isn't backing Hillary.

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 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.

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.

I find it hard to believe that any Democrat made that video.

I believe you mean " instant classic mashup of the [i]Apple[/i] commercial 1984."

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!

It wasn't a Nike commercial, it was a Apple computer commercial.

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.

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!
