I realize that, as an advertising student, I should be all over the Super Bowl ads: which ones I loved (Tide To Go, FedEx pigeons, Justin Timberlake Pepsi), which ones disappointed (pretty much any Budweiser/Bud Lite ads), etc. But, as much fun as making fun of stupidity is, there is a much greater topic to be discussed.
Today is Super Tuesday. The day when 20 states vote in the presidential primary elections. In this toss-up of an election year, Obama and Hilary have been essentially trading wins back and forth. But with 20 states voting in one day, this one can't end in a draw. My one gripe is that I'm currently registered to vote in the state of Oregon, which doesn't hold its primary until May, so I may not make as much of a difference. Many of you, however, can, and absolutely should. I don't care what side you're on, what color your state is, or how lazy you are. Just get out and vote!
If you need a little push from some celebrity endorsers, I have just the thing. Although this video is clearly in support of Barack Obama, the message is still inspirational. We have the power to change our country, but you can only use that power if you get out and VOTE. If for no other reason, do it for me-- I can't vote until May.
