This ad is brilliant! If you're like me and are getting tired of all the attack ads, this will put a smile on your face. Thanks Ned!!

[Ravy]

1. Great ad! Thanks (nt)

[Maraya1969]

65. Double click on these videos and you will go to YouTube where you

can vote them up, make a nice comment and favorite it, (The more favorites it gets the further it gets to the front of the line. Also comments move it forward.)

[Skinner]

2. hahahahahaha!

That's great!

[rocktivity]

7. Just out of curiousity, did you strike up some kind of deal with YouTube?

And was it prior to their Google takeover?

:headbang:
rocknation

[Skinner]

10. We don't have any sort of deal with YouTube.

We're simply taking advantage of the features that already exist on their site in order to make our site better.

[silverweb]

28. Skinner, I have a question.

I posted this below, also, but you may not have seen it:

How do we get the YouTube URL for specific videos in this forum? Right clicking to find "properties" doesn't work.

I wanted to send this one to my list and finally found it at YouTube, but it would have been a lot easier to be able to get it from the vid here.

:shrug:

[Skinner]

33. Two possibilities.

You could just give them a link to this thread on DU. The video is here, after all.

Or, you can just click on the video here and it'll take you to the appropriate page on YouTube.

[silverweb]

38. Thanks!

When I click the vid to play, it plays right in place within the original post. However, after reading your reply, I paused it and clicked it again, and then it opened a new window in YouTube with the original URL.

As for sending the whole DU thread link, that's always a good option, too.

BTW, I didn't mention it before -- just one voice among many -- but the Video Forum is a brilliant idea! Thanks, Skinner!

:hi:

[Skinner]

52. You don't have to even play or pause the video.

Here's the trick: Click the video somewhere that isn't a "play button".

[silverweb]

54. No, I tried that.

I think maybe it's my security settings, which are much higher than most because of my work. Instead of getting the new window, I got a security message. I had to start the vid and then pause it -- but that's okay because it's a lot easier than searching YouTube for the right video!

:)

[helderheid]

34. I think if you click on the "youtube" graphic on the video it will take you there

[silverweb]

39. Only after starting and then pausing it.

I learned that after reading your reply and Skinner's.

Thanks!

:hi:

[riglerej]

59. Try allowing 'pop-ups' from DU

That worked for me using Firefox/Mozilla

[Fridays Child]

3. Oh, that's excellent! Will it be on TV in Connecticut?

[Cha]

32. It better be..that's

where it needs to be! Gawd, I would love to have a Senator Lamont in my State!

[LonelyLRLiberal]

4. Man, alive - that really makes the point!

Hope it works.

[Ice4Clark]

5. Hot Damn...........

I love it............who the hell produced/conceived this? We need that team to do all the dem ads...........EXCELLENT!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Flirtus]

6. Kick!

[Pharaoh]

8. vote # 5

on to the greatest page..........

[Ice4Clark]

9. I can't seem to stop watching this ............

hitting the brick wall is brilliant, the slogans on the wall (soundbites) that all can relate too............just love this. Wish I had moved to CT so I could vote for this guy.

[19jet54]

11. Love the ad...

but I feel sorry for the cars - Dumb Cars! :kick: Dumb GOP kiss-ass Liberman! Go Ned!

[DUyellow]

12. HAHA

[deaniac21]

13. Really FUNNY!!

What is the latest on the campaign?

[LynzM]

19. Within the margin of error, according to latest polls

Got a lot of people on the ground this weekend to GOTV and motivate people!! :bounce:

[deaniac21]

22. KEWL!

[NJCher]

53. Serious!?

That's great!!! Oh man, I would so love it if Menendez wins in NJ and Ned in CT!!!!!

Re the ad, it is brilliant in its visual depiction that old saying about the definition of crazy. And having the issues on the wall as graffiti is a colorful and interesting way to feature them.

The audience cannot help but watch as the car slams into the wall over and over again. Action! This ad is a winner!!

Go Ned! And p.s., my husband already voted for you via absentee ballot.

[MnFats]

14. old joe will attack him for wasting valuable cars.

"Old Joe," by the way, many years ago, was a euphimism for the clap.

[Straight Shooter]

15. "Stupid car!"

That's great. That's the way to create a brilliant campaign ad.

Now, excuse me, because I've just got to watch this a few more times. :D

[The Count]

16. Big smile! Thanks!

[humbled_opinion]

17. I really like this one.

This needs to go national... I think it captures the countries mood about the Bush Administration.

[silverweb]

21. Absolutely!

This one needs to go national and the _Laesch ad_ in Illinois needs to go national.

Brilliant ads like these are just too good to leave for single-state campaigns.

[freefall]

51. I loved the Laesch ad but I think it should be a separate post of

its own so it can get on the greatest page. Can you do that? Thanks for posting it silverweb.

Is that the Squirrel Nut Zippers?

Peace

freefall

:hi:

[Infinite Hope]

18. My Gosh!!!

Talk about blunt. There was a thread recently asking for the most blunt ads of the season. This is #1 thus far. Wow. I am between stunned at the bluntly serious message and laughing.

[ClassWarrior]

20. Brilliant.

NGU.

[silverweb]

23. Finding URLs

How do we get the YouTube URL for specific videos in this forum? Right clicking to find "properties" doesn't work.

I want to send this one to my list and finally found it at YouTube, but it would have been a lot easier to be able to get it from the vid here.

:shrug:

[DeeDeeNY]

26. Can you note the URL here?

I was also looking to send it, but I couldn't find it on YouTube.

[silverweb]

27. Sure.

Here you go: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IoQ7JBj3IPE

[DeeDeeNY]

29. Thanks!

[silverweb]

30. You're welcome!

And keep an eye on my post #28 above for when Skinner gives us an answer to my "how to" question!

:thumbsup:

[benny05]

24. It's too bad we have to resort to attacks

But this video says it all. Go Ned! :bounce:

[tjl]

25. Great

One of the best ads I've seen!

[Cha]

31. Ned Lamont is too Cute

for words! It's TRue It's True! That ad is TRUE!

[bluerum]

35. Ahh ha ha ha! That is great! Fabulous. Thanks for posting! nt

[Yogi]

36. Great ad!

[girl gone mad]

37. Fantastic ad! n/t

[and-justice-for-all]

40. thats a FUCKING AD!!!!!!!!!!! Love it!

[YDogg]

41. I love it.

:rofl:

[cynthia]

42. brilliant!

Why would we send Leiberman back, he is the definitive DINO

[rpannier]

43. Classic

That is a classic commercial.
It gets straight to the point.

[eringer]

44. Creativity -- A Trait Sorely Lacking in DC

Ned Lamont will win easily now.

[Auggie]

45. FINALLY! A message that gets to the core issues!

[Gloria]

46. Brilliant! Makes it "tangible" for the jerks out there who don't have a clue....

now they do!

[Redstone]

47. It's brilliant. I'd like to shake the hand of whoever wrote it.

Redstone

[Balderdash]

48. Perfect!

:applause:

[Roland99]

49. Fucking AWESOME!!!!!!!!

[Lena inRI]

50. THAT'S SMASHING !!!!

:headbang: :headbang: :headbang: :headbang: :headbang:

[neuvocat]

55. Argh!

That pun is so bad it has to go to jail. Seriously though, its nice to just see an ad about issues, not personalities.

[RUMMYisFROSTED]

56. There is the matter of the 3 foot-tall Joe in the commercial...

:rofl:

[Lena inRI]

58. 100% agreed, neuvocat. . .

but I just got to say whom Ned Lamont reminds me of. . .especially at the end of this ad, I saw the resemblance even moreso:

Ned Lamont looks like Alfalfa from "Our Gang" (Little Rascals) comedy films of the 1930s

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Carl_%22Alfalfa%22_Switzer

Now I mean no disrespect. . .so don't start asking me to apologize. . .but I just can't help myself . . .when I see Lamont I see Alfalfa!

:silly: :silly: :silly: :silly: :silly:

[leesa]

57. Now that's a funny ad.

[SeaBob]

60. simply great K&R

[AwakeAtLast]

61. That was awesome!

What a great ad! :kick:

[Clarkie1]

62. That's a very good ad. Visually effective and "hits" several points, LOL. nt

[orleans]

63. hysterical! proud to say I DONATED TO NED! n/t

[autarkh]

64. Another great ad is this one...

...in favor of Jim Webb:

[buddysmellgood]

66. Great. A classic. I wish the Lieberman voice was better. He so easy to imitate.

[primative1]

67. Great Ad ..

Gave me a chuckle on such a gray day .... Hope the ad wakes someone up.

[obietiger]

68. Great ad!

[progressoid]

72. Goddammit! That is outstanding!!!

We gotta use his people again in the 08 races!!

[yeson2]

[The Count]

74. Say this last night in NY - on Fox of all places - 8 PM. Taped it!

"Stupid car!"

[meowomon]

75. That Was Great!

Lieberman needs to go. That will be THE ultimate message to Bush and his bought and paid for congress.
