the last half of the ad SHOULD HAVE BEEN IN COLOR. Black-and-white seems like it's out of the past. That's fine for the first half of the ad, but for the last half we need VIVID COLOR. Make it real. Bernie is speaking to people NOW.

That's my only criticism, otherwise a wonderful first ad.

So if that's your thing, you're going to want the candidate who gets lots of liberals fired up to vote. You just watched one of his ad spots.

relation to Bernie but seemingly never to the other candidate. I mean they both are staking out very similar positions as far as what they seek change (at least lately that seems to be the case) Would she not face the same hurdles with her "change" agenda?

She'll just spare us the disappointment! Isn't that their argument? Let's just embrace fake change, since real change obviously is impossible.

Quite the vision indeed. You see they want real change.The concept being nothing is for nothing. Hence the paper.Everybody wants real change. It's a great vision, isn't it ? It seems to say it all in two words- Real Change. Street vendors get the paper circulating out in the streets ,.

2 million invested in the advertising launch ,interesting.

I played it like 15 times, I knew it wasn't his voice. But then I was thinking that maybe be had not explicitly approved the ad on You Tube. That may still be the case I guess and now he has. I have no idea about the legalities of it. I can understand say "did not approve" on Youtube to keep people from clipping out parts of it and that is what I thought until I just played it again.

It implies what we had for the last 7 years was fake change. That's why Newt and Romney used that phrase. It is an obvious swipe at Obama.

That will not get Bernie the AA votes he desperately needs. It just plays to his base of Obama bashers, the folks who think Obama is a "piece of shit used car saleman."
