Great Campaign Commercials

Hello all,
I couldn't resist adding my favorite of the election campaign commercials I've seen lately. The Ed one is from the last campaign but it's quite wonderful.
Let me know if you guys find anything that we just all have to see.

it's all in the name...

"Liberal"
What does that term mean?
to Canadians?
to Americans?
How do we see Liberals in each other's country?

There are Republicans and then there are Republicans!

It has come up that there are many different ideologies under the Republican umbrella. For those of you who shelter the rain there, how do you view Bush? Cheney? McCain? Palin? the religious right? the founding principles? the diversity within the party? the party's future?
(This would be the essay portion of the blog! :) )

Food stamps

How does the Food Stamp program work in the United States? Is it the same everywhere or does it differ state by state? Is it connected to the Welfare system? (and how does that all work?)
What is society's feelings around the system? Are these feelings the same in both the Democratic and Republican political camps?

Israel

Why is it important that both VP canidates "love" Israel? (quotations used not that they meant something else, but that they used that actual word.)

News or commentary?

While I realize that all news it biased to some degree, are all American news channels like CNN and Fox?

Where is the information coming from?

It seems that the majority of the American Congress is thinking one thing while the majority of citizens (or at least the most vocal ones) are thinking something very different about the bailout package, or at least the need for one. Where are both groups getting their information? Where is this disconnect coming from?
