A 60-second spot urging the charismatic Obama to throw in his hat will roll out in New Hampshire on Wednesday and run through
Christmas. It is also making its way onto Washington, D.C., airwaves this week. "We can replace fear with hope" flashes on the screen as the spot begins; the line underscores what some political
analysts see as Obama's strength.
And his second book--"The Audacity of Hope"--is again perched atop The New York Times best-seller list. Bud Jackson of The Jackson Group produced the ad for free. He and consultant John Hlinko, also with Draft Obama, were part of the push to bring retired Gen. Wesley Clark into the 2004 Democratic presidential primaries. One of Jackson's biggest claims to fame is that he produced the first-ever presidential draft ad--for Clark.
