New pro-Obama ad to air on MTV and Comedy Central
[cnn-photo-caption image= http://i2.cdn.turner.com/cnn/2008/images/07/28/art.moveon.cnn.jpg caption="Moveon is hitting the airwaves with a new ad."](CNN) – A liberal advocacy group is targeting young voters in a new political television ad that promotes Barack Obama’s presidential bid set to run on MTV and Comedy Central. While MoveOn.org never states Obama’s name in the ad, it uses a campaign slogan the presumptive Democratic presidential nominee often repeats on the campaign trail: “Hope.”
“Hope: It Could Happen to You,” parodies advertisements frequently directed to younger television viewers about the ill effects of drug use and abuse. Instead, of trying to scare its target audience away from making it a habit to use drugs, the ad suggests that Obama’s message of hope is a positive habit.
MoveOn.org announced Monday that it will spend $150,000 to run the ad for one week on both networks, which cater to younger voters.
Last week, MTV aired its first ever political ad, according to a report by MTV News. “Both Ways Barack,” targeted Sen. Barack Obama and suggested the presumptive Democratic nominee holds inconsistent positions on various issues at the same time.

Hope – That will solve all our problems right? This guy is a media creation, am empty suit selling flowery rhetoric. No ideas no experiance God help us if that clown gets elected
Please! Moveon.org is so totally yesterday. Obama even threw them under the bus.
Is that Shawn Hunter from Boy Meets World?
WHAT A BIG JOKE LIKE THE CANIDATE HIMSELF. O.B. IS JUST A BIG MEDIA CLOWN.AMERICA GETS WHAT THEY ASK FOR.
We can only hope that Obama's AD's will not be half as Lame as Sleepy McLame's AD's have been. Dr. NO ?
Oooo, but it's that evil MoveOn.org.
They are Satan...well, them and the ACLU.
Why can't they be more respectful of candidates....you know, like T Boone and the Swift Boaters for "Truth".
Obama for Prez!!!!
Was there a PoliticalTicker post related to the MTV ad that was not pro-Obama? Why is the pro-Obama MoveOn.org ad news worthy while the other one was not?
I like it. good move MoveOn
Since we dont teach our children the difference between socialism and free enterprise Obama the socialist will probably scoop up most of the votes of the under 30 crowd.
it's about time I hear an Obama ad, all I hear these days are McCain ads. How come McCain isn't up by 20points because he has so many negative ads out on Obama. I am tired of McBush
Bad news about the MTV ad. People who watch MTV will believe ANYTHING.
Nice... Very motivating.
Move On and Obama himself think that White House is a playground.
Get a life. You can play it in your backyard. Get lost.
Interesting, provocative. One of the things that make you go "hmmmmmm..."
THAT'S WERE HE OUGHT TO BE. HE'S SUCH A JOKE.
The dude looks out of it.
AWESOME! 😛
I don't need hope, I've got George
McSame: " I know how to win WARS". "I know how to catch BIN LADEN". "Did I also mention that I know how to spell S-U-R-G-E", and on and on he goes where he will stop nobody KNOWS.
OBAMA ' 08
The "young" people in this country that are going to vote for Obama need to look at the issues and what each candidate is saying instead of making "Old McSame" comments. The problem with what I have seen from his supporters are they have never had a job, never paid taxes, and have no idea how the world rotates. Remember the adage, "the older I get the smarter my parents are." Don't be fooled by the speeches. Don't you wonder why Obama won't debate in a town hall meetings? Don't you want real questions from real people which would require real answers? No more scripted meaningless speeches!!! Obama is a chicken at the debate podium and certainly would be one in national security issues.
This may work on brain dead teenage girls who like "the hills" but this is one 19 year old voter who won't vote for the Hope Dope.
McCain 08
Not very good, but at least not as divisive as many.
Good – it will beat the daylights out of all the hate and fear spewing from the repukes.
Thanks, Dems. Hope for a better future with peace and NO MORE REPUBLICAN WARS.
Stick your head in the sand and HOPE...HOPE...HOPE. We don't need hope, we need some one that can make it happen!!!! Yes we can....McCain 08
