Very, very effective.

14. Two birds with

one shot as it were.."a camera" that is. :)

[Totally Committed]

44. So, is this just for YouTube, or will he actually run this ad???

I think it's a shame that only those tech-savvy enough to use YouTube will see this.

Does anyone know?

6. I'm going to vote for him even if his hair falls out.

[be inspired]

8. Me too

Even if he shaves his head, or grows a ponytail.

[seashorelady]

23. He looks pretty good with long hair and a mustache too

[Catchawave]

12. Oh yeah :))))

[jsamuel]

7. Perfect. Put our priorities in order.

[PDittie]

10. That's how you diffuse a non-issue.

[Cha]

15. Pre-Cisely!

Diffuse it right back at 'em!

[lame54]

11. this is

what really matters

[iamjoy]

58. Thanks!

I want to up its viewage on YouTube so it comes up on the searches for more people to see!

[Cha]

13. Someone was brilliant who

thought of that one! Go Edwards!

Long Beautiful HA IR!

Shoulda showed the dick of death giving his explanation of why he told Senator Leahy to "Go Fuck Yourself" on the Senate Floor.. he was hallucinating again and thought it was a kiss instead of a handshake. :silly:

[waiting for hope]

18. Perfect - It really sucked

though when they played it - timing was bad.....Let's post this video everywhere!

Go, Johnny, GO!!

K&R!!

[Rowdyboy]

24. Makes his point beautifully.....Inspired!

[Evergreen Emerald]

19. Awesome!

That rocked!

[usregimechange]

20. k n r

[deminks]

21. Brilliant! K&R

[pstans]

22. This needs to be on TV

I really liked this ad.

Dodd's ad about hair also was great.

[chookie]

30. I think it was

I had the tv on in another room, and heard that old song, and that, hmm, that's weird.

So it turned out to be our John! Too Cool!

[pstans]

32. No, it needs to be aired on TV like regular campaign ads

I live in Iowa and Edwards, Obama, Dodd, and Richardson (and Romney on the Republican side) all have had TV ads on. This one needs to be on as well.

[calteacherguy]

39. You might be careful what you wish for...do you really want to remind people of a $400 haircut? nt

[bobbolink]

68. Yes! And put it in context.

We need to stop running and hiding from the assinine and ridiculous!

[Greylyn58]

25. I love it!!

This should run on TV.

[be inspired]

28. I agree.

That would be great.

[Lifelong Protester]

26. Excellent!

There needs to be a swift and defusing response to all of that Repub nonsense. No more "Swift boating"!!

[bear425]

27. Love it. It's time for the spin to end and the change to begin! n/t

[DeepModem Mom]

29. K&R!

[chookie]

31. Laughter, goosepimples, and tears

It spoke very powerfully to the core of my soul.

That is very moving -- it's brilliant.

The idiots Republigoons who brought up the stupid "hair" thing dug their own grave with their remarks. Eat it, jerks.

John's staff hit one WAY out of the park.

[calteacherguy]

40. It's not just Republicans who have trouble with a $400 haircut.

The add is clever, but misses the point. How many blankets for the homeless of Katrina could $400 buy?

It's a question of priorities and values, on a personal level.

[connecticut yankee]

66. Maybe

if we had a Democratic President, they wouldn't be homeless.

Edit: typo

[Catchawave]

67. The "ad is clever" teacher :)

:kick: and :toast:

[SaveAmerica]

47. I posted the same sentiment before I saw your response, that's

exactly how I felt. This should be on TV, it has everything that made America-25% stand up and realize what a mess W was making of everything and a reminder of what's important. It's really well done.

[seashorelady]

48. That ad slapped the foolish media silly

Go John Go.

[dk2]

33. I just love it.

What a great one. Here's one for the hair!

[iconocrastic]

34. Watching the guy primp in the mirror you know what's important to him

Looking good. That's what counts.

[MalloyLiberal]

35. Shut up fool

[iconocrastic]

36. Truth hurts, doesn't it?

But he does spend a lot of money on that hair. Think it will get him the nomination?

[XtraProudDem]

37. Truth Hurts?

Great comeback, jackass.

[The Wizard]

60. Nothing to do with hair and

everything to do with our republican controlled butt plug media. If they want to investigate the cost of a haircut over an illegal invasion and occupation of a sovereign nation premised on deliberate lying, they have abdicated their role as the Fourth Estate and become a fifth column.
The only people concerned with what John Edwards pays for a haircut are treasonous Republicans

[Inspired]

43. Take the stick out and lighten up. n/t

[Darth_Kitten]

63. It's not like the Reagans who paid 250,000 for tea sets.....

n/t

But it's those nasty dems who are the elitists. :eyes:

[calteacherguy]

38. Clever. But the issue isn't hair vs. Iraq.

It's a $400 haircut. There are many legitimate things to consider when casting one's vote. $400 could buy a lot of blankets for the homeless of Katrina.

Nice try at changing the issue, John. We all agree Iraq and Katrina are important, but it's not just Republicans who have trouble with a man who spends $400 for a haircut.

[SaveAmerica]

49. How do you know he didn't spend $400 + on blankets for Katrina?

You don't because that's for him to know and no one else's business, now how many $400+ did our government put for blankets and WATER for dehydrated babies and ailing elderly? That's the point of this video.

(I just re-read your post, you wrote that he's changing the issue. That's the point, his hair and how much he spends on it is not the issue, there's nothing to change but a reminder for people to focus on the real issues. Please watch the video again.)

[bleedingheart]

51. then by your logic we should all be avoiding any luxuries and sending the money to the poor

you can't just apply that logic to Edwards...it has to be applied to everyone else.

Whether it is a $400 haircut, a $500 handbag (they can be more) or going out to dinner at a fine restaurant for $200....
all that money could do more for the disadvantaged..

[aintitfunny]

53. The issue is absolutely not hair vs. Iraq you are right

and I think that was the whole point of the ad.

Focusing on such a picayune non-issue as a haircut points to a general lack of priorities in and of itself.

[Darth_Kitten]

64. Chelsea Clinton's nice cushy salary out of college.....

could probably have bought a few blankets as well.....just saying.

[cboy4]

41. I approve of this video. Well done!

:thumbsup:

[MissMarple]

42. Actually, that looks much more like Gary LeVox's hair.... the Rascal Flatts singer guy.

:shrug:

As we know, however, Joe Don is soooo much cuter. :rofl:

[Auggie]

45. The Edward's campaign has come up with some great ads. Anybody know

who's behind them?

[benny05]

61. Just a guess

But maybe Joe Trippi.

The video kicks some MSM butt! Even Anne Kornblut of WaPo on C-SPAN this morning said that it was clever and it was a dig at the media.

:kick:

[Auggie]

62. They're just so... smart. No negativism. No mud-slinging.

I've been in advertising 28 years and I'm damned impressed.

[SaveAmerica]

46. Beautiful!! Straight to the point, gave me a laugh and then goose bumps

[Inspired]

50. Great ad and it only gets better the more you watch it. n/t

[aintitfunny]

52. Missed this at the debate - Great Ad - thanks (eom)

[Semper_FiFi]

54. What a great video! THAT is how you fight: FIRE WITH FIRE!

I am so glad to see this video, it is about time we see someone take a non-issue and turn it into something real and impassioned. We need to make sure that every neo-con sees this so they become afraid to mention 'hair' and 'edwards' in the same sentence.

[davidwparker]

55. Okay. I just contributed $75 to Edwards for this. I still believe the best

way to stop * and get out Iraq is by impeachment.

But, when I saw such an in-your-face, turn-a-perceived-weakness-into-strength ad, I had to reward that.

Good show Edwards camp! Keep it going.

[GliderGuider]

56. It worked for the mayor of Toronto

A re-election poster for David Miller (notorious NDP sympathizer):

Same Great Mayor. Same Great Hair.

[The M Double]

57. Perfect

Kick

[swag]

59. I would have preferred the Cowsills version, but I'll take the Broadway I guess.

[mile18blister]

65. Got this Baby Boomer's attention.

Connected 2 pointless "wars", pictures of Katrina show how African Americans are still often treated as second class citizens, and just how much do Gonzo and Chimpy pay for their haircuts? Very nice.

[DutchLiberal]

69. That was GREAT!

Yes, it's brilliant. I'm sure the Republicans/the MSM won't get it, though.

[glowing]

70. This is brilliant.... who cares? Distractions as usual.

[perrrfection]

71. That was great!

I loved it!
