Fundrace.org

Just a quick entry to promote a neat site I've been watching for a few months. My friend Jason turned me on to this site.

www.fundrace.org

They have some really neat maps of where political contributions are coming from.

The new campaign ad

I thought it might be interesting to write a bit about the future of political campaign ads. I saw Fahrenheit 9/11 a few weeks ago. Then of course I went and rented Bowling for Columbine and Roger and Me.

Michael Moore is a genius. He has taken the concept of Reality TV and put an activist's spin on it. I love it. In a world were most candidates pay for expensive advertising slots, the future of political advertising may change into a model where we (the voters) actually go to the movie theater and pay to watch such advertising. Only the future will tell, but the thought of it is provoking!

I think if Michael Moore were running for president, I would vote for him after paying to seeing his 3 movies! Come to think of it... maybe that is that how Reagan and Schwarzenegger fell into place so easily? After all, Arnold was famous for quoting his movies during his campaign!
