"Talk To Your Parents About John McCain"

"Just because other people your age are doing it doesn't make it cool..."

Sound familiar? I am sure it does. But, an ad sponsored by mccainfreewhitehouse.org and starring actors from a popular teen show, is encouraging teens across America to sit their parents down and talk to them about the risks of having Sen. McCain as President.

With an overwhelming amount of young voters supporting Sen. Obama for President, I must say that this method of reaching an older demographic is brilliant because every youthful voter has at least two parents that they can reach out to. And when you do the math the numbers get pretty high pretty quickly. Although parents may know best, I think at the very least parents will be pleased that their children are taking the ever-important topic of politics seriously.



"And if you're out somewhere and you're thinking about voting McCain, just call me and I'll pick you up. No questions asked," says one of the teens offering talking points to fellow teenagers.

This is a great ad! Using a format that everyone recognizes in a new way is a smart tactic. It certainly speaks to the young voter involvement as well.
