Think politically?
A group of Obama supporters and created this ad: it’s the infamous 1984 Mac Super Bowl commercial (named one of the best commercials of all time) modified to fit their campaign.
Regardless of who you support, this is quite a creative effort.

I don’t get it… how is Clinton Orwellian? Not that I’m a Clinton supporter (I sit on the other side of the fence), but I haven’t heard anything about her that deems her to be a totalitarian.
I believe this is the gist of the ad: currently, Clinton clearly has the support of the Democratic party. In a November poll conducted by CNN, Clinton had 28% of the Democratic vote, whereas Obama trailed behind with 17% of the vote. So this commercial is positioning Obama as the “underdog,” as it warns Hillary that Obama will overtake her spot as the top Democratic candidate when the Democratic primaries roll around in 2008. Anyway, that’s my take on what the Obama campaign is trying to say…
Wired is calling this “swiftboating” (though, I usually take everything they say with a grain of salt). It still seems to tip the envelope a little more toward’s Godwin’s Law.
