First Ad Of '08 Election Is On Obama's Behalf _______________________________________________________________ Ad To Run In New Hampshire Says 'Believe Again' UPDATED: 3:36 pm CST December 14, 2006 The first primaries and caucuses for the '08 race for President are still more than a year away, but TV ads are already on tap. The first television ad for the race to replace George W. Bush is a spot on behalf of closely watched Senator Barack Obama, who officially still hasn't declared whether he'll run. The New Hampshire Union Leader reported that the group Draft Obama will run a 60-second TV ad in New Hampshire in the coming days. New Hampshire has long been a state to watch when elections approach... ...The ad features photos of Obama with a diverse array of voters, as audio plays of him delivering an uplifiting progressive message about what he and his supporters believe in. It opens with Obama's booming voice: "Do we participate in the politics of cynicism or do we participate in the politics of hope?" It closes with the simple slogan "Believe Again." Meanwhile, Obama is financially poised as of Nov. 27: Obama's Hopefund raised more than $2.5 million -- $1 million coming from donations of less than $200. The Federal Election Commission said only Republican John McCain's Straight Talk America fund raised more in small donations. One fund-raiser described such small gifts as a "kind of unscientific poll" that suggests a candidate has genuine public support. Copyright 2006 by NBC5.com
