1. Nice.
Good to see them calling him out on his failed promises. I'd like to see more ads along those lines...

5. It's better than nothing . . .
Instead of repeating one quote from Chimpy McHappyCrack three times, the ad should have used additional clips/quotes from bush on this same issue (like that "Bush v. Bush" item from The Daily Show with Jon Stewart). Surely that couldn't have been the only promise he made regarding this issue that turned into just a bunch of hot air? Using additional figures/facts--such as the millions who are uninsured or the increases in prescription drug prices--would have added to the ad's strenght.

I did like the format though; the background music and that bit of silence at the end.

6. Bush vs. Bush Ruled
I just wish that someone else had a different capture of it. Streaming it from Comedy Central's site makes it impossible to see the video moving and takes a lot of the effect of the "debate" away.

8. Thanks from Texas for the link
We won't be seeing many ads here in Texas, even way out west where I am. No sense in Kerry wasting his money in this godforsaken state. Latest Texas poll shows Bush up 58% to 29% over Kerry. I'm thinking of moving to New Mexico, a truly civilized state.

13. I Totally Disagree
I think the effect is intentionally jarring. When you are watching, you think to yourself, "Hey, didn't he just say that?"

With TV ads, you don't have to be exhaustive, you have to hit people with a jackhammer. I'd say they done did that.
