If I lived in the U.S., there's pretty much no way I'd be a Republican, but I have to admit, Mike Huckabee, Republican Presidential Candidate, (and former Governor) has taken a clever approach to his first campaign ad.
See, Oprah's backing Obama, and that's something, because quite frankly- her show's viewers probably top the number of people voting. Hell, I'm pretty sure SHE could win the election if she wanted to.
However, that's nothing to the power of viral marketing. Observe:
Ya, it's a little silly, but who isn't going to spread that? He's gone a long way to getting his name out there, via the one medium that is starting to tie everyone together.
A lot of politicians fail to really grasp what the Internet can do- like allow people to go back and check things that they've said in the past and catch them in denial- but either this guy 'gets it', or he has somebody on his team who does.
Food for thought.
