Obama’s first TV ad

Category: Misc

By Denise Ross

This has been playing all weekend, but if you want to watch this, here is the first TV ad to air in SD for the 2008 presidential campaign.

It’s worth noting that this Barack Obama ad about the need for health care reform has been airing in other states since 2007. (See YouTube for other iterations.)

Since both Sens. Obama and Clinton agree on the need to reform America’s health care system, what is the advantage of this ad? Isn’t it really an introduction ad?

Is it effective?

    I recall reading Steve Hildebrand saying the Daschle campaign should have spent more time on health care issues. And, Daschle has a book out. So maybe this is a do-over of sorts?
