Hillary Christmas

I've noticed that this Hillary Clinton ad from last year has been contrasted with the Obama ad below lately.



Notice how Hillary is all alone in her ad, wrapping presents with Bill nowhere in sight. She's her own woman and a generous one, you see. Barack Obama, on the other hand, is sitting with his family, looking cozy and warm without an overly strong political message.

There was a snippet about these two ads just the other day on CNN. The anchors discussed how the two ads followed the campaign patterns closely, right down to Obama being more about image than substance. It's an interesting microcosm of the politics we've seen over the last year or so.

As one can see from this 2007 CNN video, I guess it's something to look forward too with Obama as our President Elect.



P.S. Don't forget that it's up to Mike Huckabee to remind voters (and the religious right) about the true meaning of Christmas!
