Anyway TIS, I realized something else after posting my speculation on that 30 minute commercial.

Every candidate's campaign pushes the myth of the politician, their life narrative, which has a mixture of truth, half-truths, and outright bullshit.

For instance, Bob Dole/George H.W. Bush/JFK/McCain/Kerry were all war heroes who suffered with valor for their nation.

Eisenhower/Grant/Washington/Jackson/Zach Taylor were all Victorious War Generals.

Clinton/Nixon/Lincoln were both from impoverished homes, who rose to become President, the American Dream in real life. You get the picture.

With Obama, its that he was born to a white mother and a black father, who left that family permanently shortly after his birth. Growing up in places around the world from Kansas(her origin) to Hawaii (where he was born) to Indonesia, he did go to Ivy League elite schools in Columbia and Harvard, where he was elected the first black President of the school's prestigious Law Review.

He had the most prestigious options available to him after law school, including clerking in the U.S. Supreme Court, but he decided instead to go to Chicago to work as a community activist for the struggling low-income/working class residents.

But the propaganda beginnings of his "Change" campaign slogan began in 2004 at the DNC, where in his keynote address, he said: "There is not a liberal America and a conservative America; there's the United States of America." In fact, he announced his presidential campaign in front of the Old State Capitol in Springfield, Illinois, the site where Abraham Lincoln in 1858 gave his "House Divided" speech.

Symbolism is forever vital in politics. Notice how his "A More Perfect Union" speech on race (in response to the Jeremiah Wright scandal earlier this spring) was given at the Constitutional Center in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, just a stone's throw away from Independence Hall (where of course the Declaration of Independence and U.S. Constitution were both signed.)

But more than anything else, that ad may play up the narrative of his bi-racial family, how he's got "...relatives that look like Bernie Mac and Margaret Thatcher,", his white grandfather who fought in General Patton's Army during World War 2, his Asian Buddhist half-sister, his (supposed) ironic distant relations to Jefferson Davis, the President of the rebellious southern Confederate States of America, you get the picture.

Now this aint a love letter or a sloppy kiss. I'm just speculating on the political image crafted so far by the campaign, how much of all those factors will be pounded possibly, if they go that far on the topic, in the 30 minute commercial.
