In my opinion, this is the most powerful political ad in the history of the world.

Why?

Because it is real.

It can't be run too many times, or in too many places, before Election Day.

I wouldn't care if it was the only ad we ran the rest of the way.

The MSM should be forced to register as a 527.

The "hug" happened about 10 miles down the road from here, and the ad is a very effective piece that plays well in this area. God bless our President as well as Ashley and her family.

When this picture first appeared I sent it to all my friends and said you could see the all the hurt this good man felt for this girl and all the others. You could see into his soul in that picture. Months later I changed my tagline after hearing Zell Miller at the convention.

Yes, you can see this man and who he is in that picture. He looks unbearably sad and old and as if he is in pain. Just the picture brings tears to my eyes. He is a very good man. I do hope God is with him in the next weeks.

Yup, I love the soft pretzels best of all. My son's elementary school raises money for field trips by selling pretzels on alternate Friday afternoons. They sell a lot of them!

what kind of beer is that? Can't read label.

Probably some tasty imported premium quality micro-brew that we peons can't afford to buy.

Very powerful, emotional ad.

I, too, tear up whenever I see it.

By the way - Mason, OH is MY hometown (just north of Cincy) - born and raised there - lived there for the first 30 years of my life. I've been away for 17 years - I'd go back in a heartbeat. (..the reason for my FR handle...)

This ad is Kerry's worst nightmare. (Other than his military records becoming public.)
