one each for Indiana and North Carolina though both are basically the same video where he speaks directly to us about the importance of not keeping the status quo...
Here is the Indiana version
Indiana "Minute" Closing Argument Ad
and here is the North Carolina spot
North Carolina "Minute" Ad
I like how he talks mostly about change and how keeping the same people in Washington isn't going to change anything and slams the gas tax
I am having trouble embedding the videos (probably cause they are not on youtube yet) but I will add them once I get it worked out
in the meantime, here is the script, courtesy of Mark Halperin at the Page
INDIANA SCRIPT – "Minute"
VO: They’re Indiana values. Hard work, community, keeping your word.
And there’s a candidate who shares those values, who thinks differently than those who’ve spent decades in Washington.
Barack Obama.
OBAMA: Politics didn’t lead me to working people. Working people led me to politics.
VO: He got his start in Illinois as a community organizer, helping
neighborhoods devastated by steel plant closings.
OBAMA: And I worked with churches to help those workers get back on their
feet.
VO: For two decades in public life, he’s stood up to powerful interests on behalf of people, taking tough stands, bringing parties together to get things done.
It says something about the president he’d be.
OBAMA: It’s not enough just to change political parties in the White House, we’ve got to change how our politics works.
Now, he’s visiting cities and towns across Indiana.
OBAMA: I meet Hoosiers who are struggling. Jobs disappearing, families facing foreclosure, the cost of everything from healthcare to tuition to groceries to gas at the pump going up and up and up.
VO: And at each stop, he trusts us with the truth.
OBAMA: We could suspend the gas tax for six months. But that’s not gonna bring down gas prices long-term.
OBAMA: That’s typical of how Washington works. Let’s find some short-term quick fix that we can say we did something even though we’re not really doing anything.
We’ve got to go after the oil companies and look at their price-gouging. We’ve got to start using less oil, and that means raising fuel-efficiency standards on cars and developing alternative fuels.
VO: It’s a new kind of politics. With a plan to bring our troops home. Turn around this economy. Deliver real tax relief for the middle class. And bring back some hope at a time when it’s desperately needed.
OBAMA: That’s why May Sixth is so important. We’ve got a choice. We can go about doing the same old things with the same old folks and somehow hope we’re going to get a different result. Or we can go ahead and try something entirely different. You and I together, we¹ll change this country and change the world.
OBAMA: I’m Barack Obama, and I approve this message.
and now the NC script which as you can tell is the same ad as Indiana except flip flop the state names...also from Halperin
