Professionally speaking, I'm curious which you guys think is the best, most powerful political Ad of the two listed below.  Please watch both before voting and try to separate your evaluation from your political inclinations.

Option 1: "Yes We Can" Song

If there are other great political spots that you know of, please share.

"Yes we can" was pretty interesting, nicely shot and good images.
"The truth" was visually boring. And the message may be thought of as "witty" or tongue in cheek but i think it was a bad direction to go.

"3am"... just pointless, trying to grab at straws and scare voters. Dumb way to go for an ad, most comments I saw/heard after seeing it ranged from "don't they have other people answer the phones?" to "okay she is there at 3 am but where is Bill?".

"Yes we can" gets my vote.

While I am not naive enough to believe it has no political agenda, it did not have the political flavor and fervor of the standard political ad.

It was not made up of attacks, nor did it proclaim any of the "or else" statements we have come to expect in any and all elections. There was no "Vote for me because I'm better than the other guy."

It was merely the melodic reinterpretation on a speech about the greatness of a nation and its people. It actually inspires instead of dejects, which is why Obama is getting my vote.

The Truth ad was a bit confusing at first. Maybe I'm just not used to Argentinian politics. Interesting way to do it tho.

"This is the Truth" LOL

clever.. but kinda lame.  Blind optimism.  Whoever narrated that has a REALLY annoying voice..

The Truth was clever but boring. Thus Yes we Can is better - it has clips and music. Er - music that doesn't kill your ears (first half of the truth)
