This is how you think outside of the box.

Spot on! Slick ads can work to an certain extent but what we have here is one that is literally and figuratively speechless but worth a million conversations. This ad will not only resonate but has the potential to rank right up there in all-time potent political ads.

This should be followed by a series of ads that have no voice over but simply straight up direct quote clips. "We need to pass the bill to find out what's in it." "Never waste a crisis." "Too big to fail." "You didn't build it, somebody else did." "Yeah, we're gonna raise taxes." etc. Too many to list. Also "That Was Then, This Is Now" clips. How about a couple also at a dinner table trying together to do the math of the latest jobs report? How about Susan Rice claiming the film was to blame in Libya then Jay Carney saying the direct opposite a couple days later with the infamous, "We thinks it's self-evident."

i think its actually the best ad the whole entire election, simple effective and everyone understands it. The pain of that family just hits you in the face and this hits men square in the jaw of not being able to provide and women right in the heart of watching her families pain.

Sums up the obama nation of desolation. For millions of Americans, that ad is a dining room camera.

This could seque into showing the tent cities that have popped up more often because of the economy. Show kids in a mission food line, with the narrator saying, “This is the next step. There is one after this, but it is too terrible to contemplate.”
