“Don’t let your friends embarrass themselves (and ruin America),” says MoveOn.org, “Send them this video.” It’s a “humorous” faux newscast that imagines McCain wins by a single vote.

A talking moose head stars in the latest ad from MoveOn.org. The mounted moose doesn’t think much of Sarah Palin.
Sound Bite: “McCain is 72 and she could end up in charge. She may be a little trigger happy. I should know.”
MoveOn.org is registering young voters (young voters for Barack Obama, that is). Can’t you just wait until Obama is elected and young people change the world? AWESOME, DUDE!
MoveOn turns around those annoying public service anti-drug messages aimed at teens. In this 30-second spot, earnest young waitstaff, er, actors (some from the popular show Gossip Girl), warn their parents against the perils of voting for John McCain. It’s as insipid as the anti-drug ads.
John McCain, George Bush and a bunch of Republicans are to blame for the current financial crisis. At least that’s what this new ad from MoveOn.org says.
Sound Bite: “Americans shouldn’t have to foot the bill for mistakes that John MCain and his friends made.”
MoveOn.org uses John McCain’s familiar oratorical phrase to charge that he’s controlled by corporate lobbyists.
Sound Bite: “When John McCain says ‘My Friends,’ you know who he’s talking about? The 177 lobbyists who have ties to his campaign.”
MoveOn.org has announced a plan to register 500,000 “new young voters” in “key battleground states” (new, young Obama voters, that is). They need $2.5 million.
Sound Bite: “Imagine what a difference it’ll make to add 500,000 new progressive voters to the rolls. And here’s the cool thing: we won’t just tip this one election. We’ll bring in thousands of folks who will keep voting progressive for election after election after election.”
MoveOn.org targets John McCain and North Carolina Senator Elizabeth Dole in this 30-second spot. America would have all kinds of clean energy and new jobs and lower gas prices and happy children if McCain and Dole weren’t in the “pocket of Big Oil.”
MoveOn makes fun of John McCain. They say he’s bugging Congress to come back to Washington from vaca to get an energy policy but he missed energy votes because, well, he has been burning up carbon flying here to there.
A middle-aged, balding white guy (You McCain voters all look alike) says he thought Senator McCain was a “principled guy” but “you let me and my kids down.” Why? Because McCain’s now in favor of off-shore drilling: “That’s not a solution, Mr. McCain. That’s a gimmick.”
Americans and Iraqis are clamoring for “a timetable for withdrawl from Iraq,” according to latest MoveOn.org ad. Everyone wants a timetable, they say, except John McCain. (No mention of Obama’s 16-month timetable. Of course, that’s the campaign timetable. Think that will be the January 2009 timetable?)
MoveOn.org has produced a series of treacly ads featuring earnest parents who say the world will be a horrible place for their little ones if John McCain is elected president.
John Cusack delivers the Moveon.org party line: You can’t tell the difference between George Bush and John McCain. Dare ya.
Those MoveOn.org folks are busy, busy, busy. And now they’re doing humor. Their new video — “The Bush-McCain Challenge” — proves yet again that comedy is hard, and political advocacy comedy is even harder.
The MoveOn.org folks held a contest for the best 30-second ad in support of Barack Obama. Here are the winners:
“Grand Prize” — a Republican vet (white guy) tells why he’s voting for Obama.
“People’s Choice”
“Most Original”
“Best Positive Message”
“Funniest”
