Senator Obama tries to put a positive spin on his second-place finish in the New Hampshire primary, citing the large Democratic turnout and the emergence of a “new American majority.”
Sound Bite: “We are ready to take this country in a fundamentally new direction. That's what's happening in America right now. Change is what’s happening in America.”
What do you do when you finish third in the first test of the campaign? You go after the new frontrunner.
Here, the Clinton camp tries to label Barack Obama as a flip-flopper by posting two videos -- one from 2003, the other from 2007 -- in which he states different positions on single payer healthcare. A little thin, plus the 2007 clip affirms what's appealing about Obama.
Joe says farewell. His last YouTube campaign video:
And here's Chris Dodd's good-bye. We at PrezVid will miss him, for he made more creative (if long) use of YouTube in his campaign. Apparently that won't win you elections yet.
Meanwhile, Mike Gravel is NOT saying good-bye (and who thought he would ever?). This is his briefest video ever, telling Olberman that reports of his political demise are exaggerated.
In a mirror image of infamous the anti-Goldwater nuke ad, Fred Thompson raises the spectre of dukes in a 17-minute video aimed at Iowa voters. Johnson warned about Goldwater's finger on the button; Thompson warns about bin Laden's, but with slightly less subtlety.
Sound bite: "Most Americans know that the forces of terrorism will not rest until a mushroom cloud hangs over one of our cities."
He also goes after his fellow Republicans and media with one swipe, bragging that when asked to raise his hand (the latest debate trick) he refused.
Sound bite: "If those other fellows can't stand up to an overbearing moderator in a debate, I'm not sure how they could stand up to the leaders of Iran or North Korea.... What you see is what you get. I dance to no man's tune."
He hits every conservative chime he can, saying that the Democrats are ruled by the radically secularist ACLU and -- here's the kick to the kidneys -- Michael Moore. But Thompson says he'll protect us from that.
Here's it's opposite number, the nuclear "Daisy" ad from Johnson's campaign:
John Edwards speaks to every parent whose child is being tortured by standardized testing taking over the classroom thanks to the testing mania of no child left behind. (Can you tell I speak from personal experience?)
Sound bite: "I don't believe a child learns anything filling out a bubble on a cheap, standardized test... A friend of mine from South Carolina says, 'You don't make a hog fatter by weighing.'"
