Super Bowl Ad update and thread

By Aziz P. -
OK folks - you've spoken, and we definitely want Dean to do a Super Bowl ad. The best idea for a script was a take-off on Tiger Woods' commercial for Nike where all these people say "I am Tiger Woods". We just have the same concept, with "I am Howard Dean."

This idea has real merit! For example we could have card carrying GOP guys holding a GOP 4 Dean sticker say it, have an elderly black couple in the deep south say it, have a steel worker in Philly say it, have a rancher in New Mexico say it. Of course have a guy with a confederate flag on his truck say it.

We should actually get Tiger Woods to say it!

And close the commercial with Dean himself sitting in a chair watching the Super Bowl, looking surprised to be on camera, and the message "People-Powered Howard" ?

Rough ideas! needs work! discuss and lets get this idea into shape! Remember- the campaign is watching! We will submit our idea directly to Joe Trippi, so dive in and leave your mark!

UPDATE: Here's a story on Yahoo about the costs and availability:

About 80 percent of the advertising slots had been sold ahead of the Feb. 1 broadcast in Houston, Texas, said a spokesman for CBS, a unit of Viacom . Prices run as high as $2.3 million to $2.4 million for a 30-second spot, up from $2.2 million last year when the National Football League championship game was on ABC. But the remaining 20 percent, 10 to 15 commercial spots, could still prove a challenge to fill.


It might be an ad-buyer's market soon... the Superbowl is February 1st and the Super Tuesday primaries are March 2nd.

UPDATE 2: another commentor pointed out this amazingly cool image from a Fark photoshop contest. It just stirs the imagination somehow...

Gay Saudi Arabia

By Dignan -
I found this very interesting new item about a suspected gay wedding in Saudi Arabia. While there are some who think that the United States is obsessed with sex and is stridently homophobic, nothing can compare with Muslim attitudes towards homosexuals. Publicly claiming to be homosexual in a Muslim country usually equals death. So why is it that rarely does one hear the homosexual community here in America speaking out against Muslim countries? Am I missing something here?

Five Things Dean Supporters Can Do Right Now to Fight Terrorism

By Anonymous -
Or: how I stopped worrying and learned to support the spread of democracy in the Middle East. Hello, Dean Nation! The incomparable Aziz P. has kindly invited me to post here in addition to my usual perches at Liberals Against Terrorism and Chez Nadezhda . For that, I thank him, and I hope that I do him credit. Like perhaps most readers of this site, I'm not a fan of the Bush Administration. Last year I devoted a goodly portion of my life to ousting it, including a trip to freezing cold Cedar Rapids and Waterloo, Iowa, where I canvassed for the Dean Campaign in the runup to the caucuses. I admit that I lost faith in the Dean movement after that, and I floundered around a bit in trying to figure out who to support, eventually setting upon Johnny Sunshine Edwards (or was it Clark?). I have never been a big fan of John Kerry, to say the least. It's tempting to fall into cynical sniping, which I myself have done at times. But I find it dispiriting and ultimately corro
