Here's what I want to see
Remember the photo of bush, kindasleazy, darth cheny, and rummy walking down the dirt road like the "Magnificent Seven?

I want a video of Obama with all seven of the other original dem candidates, plus Gore, Feingold, Kennedy, Kerry, et al, walking toward the camera like the Magnificent Seven, with music from that movie or maybe one of the Clint Eastwood "Spaghetti Westerns." There could be a rolling caption with such lines as "bring them home," "universal healthcare," "save the planet," etc. They stop, with Obama front and center, (Hillary and Edwards closest to him) plant their feet, fold their arms, and a caption comes up saying something like "take back America - vote Democratic"

10. Fuckin' A!
That's great. Gets the message across using cultural icons that every American is familiar with and associates the Democrats with those icons. I can see it now, start out with a long shot that seems to show them appearing out of a heat haze, linger for a moment then jumpcut in close, pan across the faces (all steely determination, naturally).

You know what else would work? When they stop, have them stop at a line scratched in the dirt. Everyone knows the resonance of that, "this far and no further", "hold the line". Quitessentially American, associates the Dems with toughness and determination in the minds of voters and slightly intimidating if you're a Rethuglican.

I LOVE this idea!

12. Ha!
Here's the summary of The Magnificant Seven:

A remake of "Seven Samurai", the story follows the story of the inhabitants of a Mexican village who are pillaged by a vicious bandit and his gang every year without fail. They send two of their elders to the United States to seek out help. What they end up with is 'The Magnificant Seven', a group of seven tough gunslingers who will come to the rescue of the victims. In order to save the food supplies and livelihood of the village, they teach the residents how to defend themselves and prepare for battle when the 100 man strong army descends upon them.


We need our food supplies and livelihoods saved!
