  • I'm personally from Iowa and although I cannot vote yet, I went to the caucuses for John and my family caucused for him. This is a good commercial

  • I would never vote for a candidate that parodies the electoral process like Edwards does in this ad. Clearly he selling you a "good time" without providing any content. Its a parody of our civil system in a time of utmost national emergency...thanks to fuhrer Bush!

  • Do I have to pay $9 to be admitted to the polling place? And will Don Lafontaine be on the VP ticket? This ad is all form and no content. Ron Paul 2008!

  • Yes, I often find myself supporting bigoted, racist men with little to no tolerance or understanding of diversity in this nation. Truly, you make a wise choice.

  • Is racial diversity really a pressing problem in this country in 2008?...or are the Democrats just selling Demaguogery to the largest audience possible? Frankly, I vote on pressing issues and the track record of the candidate. Our Constituion is in crisis. Ron Paul 2008!

  • Have you ever bothered to look at any of Ron Paul's policies? Removing the IRS?! Do you realize how much chaos, confusion, and most importantly, debt, that such an action would put our country in to? Without taxes we would crumble from within, because there would be a severe drop in government funds. If the government doesn't have enough funds, we lose public schools, police equipment, war funds, etc. Ron Paul is a fool.

  • I can't believe Edwards knocked that staffer up.. while his wife was battling cancer no less. Guess he needed to screw someone cuz his wife was to sick to screw him

  • "The future does not belong to those who are content with today, apathetic toward common problems and their fellow man alike, timid and fearful in the face of bold projects and new ideas. Rather, it will belong to those who can blend passion, reason and courage in a personal commitment to the ideals of American society." RFK

    John stands for everything the Democratic party and America should stand for. Go John Go!

  • John Edwards is a worse choice than most of the Republicans and I don't usually say that.

    Corny as fuck

  • John Edwards anyday over Hillary, Obama, or any republican.

    It just makes sense. He is the only candidate for the people by saying no to BIG BUSINESS and LOBBIESTS and saying yes to the people! Right on all the issues.

    John Edwards for Caucus winner!

    God Bless

  • Failed!

  • This told me nothing.

  • Amazing and unique ad. All the negative comments are obviously from people who want more of the same rather than someone who is willing to step out of the box to get things done!

    GO EDWARDS GO!

  • I'm trying to remember the most stupid things I did in my life too. Oh, I remember, I voted for a Republican once. Man, that was stupid. Learn from my mistake. Don't do it dude! I speak from experience, you'll regret for the rest of your life. You need an intervention, contact your local mental office, .... please! Then go out and support John Edwards.

  • If the republican candidate you voted for was not up to your expectations then the answer is switching to the other party? sharief25 will not vote for the republican party, he will vote for the message that happens to be embraced by one of the candidates there. Do not fall for the trap of the bipartisan system. Plead allegiance to your convictions wherever they may be and not to a party over the other.

    Peace.

  • Best laugh I've had in days.

  • "In a world where corn grows tall?" He got that right.

    I'm embarrassed to have seen this.

  • No popcorn needed with this flick; a barf bag will do.

    I especially liked the line "In our most desperate hour", with the Humvees in the background. What kind of sick leftist toady believes our situation is 'desperate'? What's desperate is this candidate. Back to your mansion, Silky. Get you some nice strange, have another 'love child', then trot out your cancer-stricken wife to fight for you.

    He should be sued...

  • Im with you... I actually threw up a little in my mouth.

  • This is great ad..............

  • The people who keep calling him a 'sleazy trial lawyer' either A. Don't actually know anything about his record as a lawyer or B. Are fanatics who support the right of big corporations to (among other things) disembowel children

  • Everyone hates a lawyer until they need one.

    As soon as a doctor botches the delivery of their child and causes brain damage and retardation, they'll be looking for a lawyer.

    You see, I understand that they are too stupid to understand that.

  • When you can't dispute the facts, you personally attack. Edwards is just as qualified, if not more than all of the candidates from either party. Yes, he made a lot of money in his profession', Bush, and Cheney were also very wealthy when they were put in office. At least Edwards worked his ass off, to earn his own damn money!

  • Edwards what a great President for the MOVIES!

  • Vote for Edwards or be sued to death.

  • Yikes. Couldn't tell if it was for real, or a spoof! "A Nation Redeemed"? Are we supposed to vote for him or build a shrine for him?

  • If you couldn't tell that it was made in good humor, then you're slow.

  • I totally don't get the Ron Paul thing. He might be against the war, but Ron Paul is against Women's rights, against public education and healthcare - what is going on with his supporters. John Edwards, if these people would just look at his website, has the most complete plans to give the country back to the people and restore Democracy. Check it out for yourself before you write these stupid comments. And - oh yea, stop watching Fox News.

  • Vote for this greedy scumbag and make him ambulance chaser in chief? The day a slimy trial lawyer becomes becomes President we all lose.

  • I'm trying to figure out who is greedy here? Since when are all trial lawyers bad? I think our country is now more than ever, going to need the best lawyers to bring Democracy back to the people. John Edwards represented the little guys against the corporations - I think you need to do your research here. Nobody has tried harder to represent the people and especially the unions and the people without power, than John Edwards and he has the best healthcare plan.

  • and where are the issues... damn hollywood junk food

  • I think I threw up in my mouth a little bit.

  • I'll vote for you if I can move into your 10,000 square foot mansion and you give me some of your millions to help me pay my taxes.

  • We have been controlled by the elite. The elite control the banking system, radio, tv,gov, and churches. They have taken our ability to question authority. We are more materialistic because of them. Why would they do this? -> They work for evil forces not wanting us to evolve spiritually. We will not take any material thing when we die, not even our skin color. Knowledge is power.

  • uhh ok :S

  • See watching most of these ads just make me wondering, when the people will learn to distinguish between the liars from the honest ones?,... NO one has presented clear viewpoints and issues of real problems like Ron Paul. Giving this ad for example, he didn't even mention a single problem that we are facing to day, what he is standing for or against.

  • "NO one has presented clear viewpoints and issues of real problems like Ron Paul."

    You mistake an overly simplistic answer for a clear example. Most Ron Paul positions are "dismantle it" "deregulate it", "leave it at the whim of the magical free market", etc. with little sense for how things really work.

  • I meant to write you mistake an overly simplistic answer for a clear *answer*.

  • "he didn't even mention a single problem that we are facing to day, what he is standing for or against."

    I think you're being unfair here to Edwards. He has stated his position on various issues plenty of times. There are plenty of videos, debate transcripts. Hell, just stop by this website. Your complaint is just as unfair as if I saw the Ron Paul Blimp and said "well, that doesn't mention any problems or what he stands for. I guess he just stands for Blimps."

  • Take note of all the stupid Ron Paul comments around. This is why other candidates block comments. John Edwards' videos don't block you from spamming that sh*t, for some reason.

  • Yea, it also shows the rude mentality of the Paul supporters.

  • Very clever!! I love it. Go John GO!

  • Is this a parody?

  • My money's on Chuck Norris appearing in the sequel.

  • Movie trailer ? A fricking movie trailer ? How low politics can get down to ?

  • IF ANYONE IS CONCERNED ABOUT THE MIDDLE CLASS AND POOR.

    John edwards needs to end the Drug war, end the welfare state and fix our FAILING dollar. But he won't.

    Ron Paul is the only one qualified to lead us.

  • RON PAUL!!!

  • This is going to tank at the box office... lol

  • All the Democrats are phoney! If you want economic prosperity for more Americans, and you want a substantial change in our foreign policy, vote for Ron Paul! He was right from the beginning on Iraq. He voted and adamantly spoke against the invasion of Iraq--unlike the Democrats who only try to figure out who they should be pandering to from one minute to the next.

  • All the Republicans are phony too....Except Ron Paul! Who else has the record of them doing what they say they want to do?!

  • Ron Paul isn't phony, he genuinely believes all the crazy stuff he says. But then again, Pat Roberson and Jerry Falwell believed in their crazy, too.

  • Hey, Thats a low blow! I am a Christian but I don't condone people who say their Christians but live like their not.

  • There are different kinds of Christians, not all are crazy, but those two definitely were. So no offense.

    By the way, it's "they're" not "their." Pet peeve.

  • youtube. com/watch?v=TpXwuwMeSsI

  • I totally agree! Ron Paul would destroy the middle class and the working poor in this country. He is all about capitalism and corporate greed. He is a strong supporter of "free market corporatism". God help us all if he wins. John Edwards, Dennis Kucinich, and Mike Gravel are only chances for progressive agendas for America.

  • He's completely opposed to corporatism! Get your facts straight! Free-market capitalism is completely anti-thetical to corporatism!

  • Ron Paul = Constitution = Liberty = Freedom = progress = strong economy = strong money for infrastructure = safety = health = prosperity. All of which is sweet apple pie.

  • Boooo to his hair and Boooo to him

  • Edwards already said he wouldn't commit to bringing the troops home by 2013.

    That's 10 years after the start of the war.

  • GO politics!!

    Wanna see what Hollywood is afraid to make.

    Have you seen "Justice Accomplished", the controversial anti-Bush film.

    Click on my name to check it out.

    Read the pissed off and positive comments.

  • his daughter is hot

  • ok vote for the 200 dollar haircut man

    see how connected he is to the average american?

    that was a partial payment on my house...

  • sure vote an other guy who doesn´t care for poor people but has a cheaper hair cut.

  • well at least he doesnt censor the comments like hilary's video. lol

  • amen to that, and I told his campaign that when they first got on youtube. they don't censor speech - hillary does - just a fine taste of what her presidency could be like - I'll pass.

    JOHN '08!!!!!

  • and a war will continue. No Thanks! Vote Ron Paul for President in 2008. I'm michael and I approve this comment.

  • No matter who is president the war "will continue" because it is a JUST WAR. It must be won for our sake and theirs. Human beings should not be slaves to either the Socialist Slave Masters here or the Theocrat Slave Masters there.

  • michael, just so you understand, he's one of the few candidates running who has said the troops will be home within 12-18 months. that's a big move when you have over 200,000 support personnel and troops 10,000 miles away with all their artillery and vehicles that need to be brought back. Iraq was and is BUSH's war.

  • Instead of making little movie trailers he should be in a hair saloon getting a $400 haircut....

    RON PAUL 2008

  • sorry, but Ron Paul is far from the answer. Any Democrat over his conservative views that I've went and read in detail. But, hey, thanks for coming and watching an Edwards video!

  • I totally agree! Ron Paul would destroy the middle class and the working poor in this country. He is all about capitalism and corporate greed. He is a strong supporter of "free market corporatism". God help us all if he wins. John Edwards, Dennis Kucinich, and Mike Gravel are only chances for progressive agendas for America.

  • How are the kids John ?

  • are you an Edwards supporter?

  • Good to see the other candidates are learning from Ron Paul - what the people want.

  • GREAT VIDEO!

    Sure beats would-be President Huckleberry'

    Christian bible thumpin' "forget we got you

    into this mess" Xmas vid....lame.

  • gay.

  • Go Edwards 08!!!!

  • I still can't get that picture of John Edwards out of my mind from the Jib Jab video "This Land Is My Land" of 2004.

  • Interesting spot.

    I don't know if Iowa movie-goers appreciate the peculiar humor of a spoof movie trailer that is a real primary ad, but I'm positive they appreciate John Edwards.

  • ron paul

  • oh god

  • At first I thought this was a joke and I thought it was funny. Then I realized that it wasn't and it saddened me.

  • obama!

  • Absolutely no substance.. All fluff.

  • Co-Starring Rielle Hunter as The Mistress

    and

    Little Johnny as The Illegitimate Son

  • And yo' mama as the cow that produces the baby's milk.

  • wow, where's the Pope & Superman?

  • we don't live in a movie... this is real life with real problems. This ad is so fake.

  • amen. most intelligent comment vie seen in awhile. many of the candidates are playing this like a game

  • you guys so need to play this on TV...this is awesome.

  • i agree you guys should really play this on tv

  • Great Video again! Edwards 08 !!

  • john edwards reminds me of tom cruise....which takes me to a point that he is the man

  • Flashy, but no substance.

    Welcome to politics, eh?

  • No substance?

    "One man can clean up George Bush's mess"

    That's about all the substance I need.

    Amen.

  • We NEED Ron Paul!! RP08!

  • We need you spammers to back a candidate that has a chance of getting nominated.

  • Great video. The campaign should turn it into an ad. I think it would be quite effective.

  • Did you notice the "I'm John Edwards and I approved this message" at the end?

    Ergo, it's an ad.

  • Can't wait to see this Movie! The Sleeper of 2007 will be the runaway mega hit of 2008! An All American Super Hero Elected President!!!

  • Good job. When you do not have anything worth saying or worth paying attention to call people names. If this is the case you make against John Edwards now, I can't wait to see your brilliant opinions sfter he wins Iowa on Jan. 3rd.

  • That is the most comprehensive case against John Edwards made by any Retardican. Great Job.

  • I am not sold on any one candidate at this time but I have to admit that John is growing on me because of his style - I think he has matured a lot since his last campaign.

    Great commercial too!

  • A bit over the top, but attention grabbing and a "feel good" feel about it. I give it three starz!

  • The best candidate, the best ad, the most change, republicans are mad and they hate because they do not have an answer for John,,jump on board..it's not too late!!

  • This guy's put out more policy material than any other candidate, he's not allowed to have a little fun too? This thing's fun! Lighten up!

  • to clean up George Bush's mess! LOL i love that line!

  • Sooo stupid... u have to BE kidding me! What about issues? Ideas? Dreams? THIS IS JUST WINDOW DRESSING! Thank god for European campaigns, atleast they are about politics.

  • What about issues? Why don't you go and read HIS 90 PAGE BOOKLET OF POLICY PROPOSALS, you clueless know-nothing?

  • Our nation will judge the next president based on ideas not slick advertising.

  • And Edwards has more ideas than anyone else running, and he released them in a 90 PAGE BOOKLET, you freaking idiot.

  • more proof edwards is a fake and a phoney

  • Yea, Ron Paul will change things. He'll give everything to the rich and create a oligarchy. He would do nothing to promote social justice or econimic fairness. Paul's libertarianism is another word for a return to the the world of Charles Dickens. Ron Paul is a pupput who's strings are pulled by the ultra rich elites who want a free ride. Paul wants a regressive revolution. Join the John Edwards progressive revolution! It's the real revolution baby!

  • Normally I dislike tv ads but this one was good. I found it quite moving. This is the man to beat the Republicans next year!

  • His daughter is hot!

  • No where in it does it say that Bush is running for a third term.

  • What JValez meant was: This video did not stay on the issues and only played on a public emotion, which happens to be the disapproval of our current President. Just like every other front runner Democrat, he's running against Bush (which means that all he talks about is how much better he is than Bush).

  • Brilliant. We always like to hear from the hair dresser lobby. So enlightening.

  • This is brilliant - well done ya'll!

  • Right on, as we leftovers from the 60s say.

  • A comment to Bockjh. We of the sixties are not "leftovers." We are the ones who still get it. We went through this crap once before and we changed the world. We are about to do it again. Dont ever forget that. Peace.

  • Kucinich 2008,

    btw

    :)

  • That was...kind of lame no offense John and Kevin.

  • Nice job. I especially liked the supporting cast!

  • That is one darned good ad.

  • There are plenty of things you all could add to this ad:

    Mari Culver saying that he "CAN WIN!"

    Something about him beating "ALL REPUBLICANS" in the Gallup Poll.

    Something about the new NC numbers that show him beating all Republicans in NC (where Clinton and Obama both would lose according to that poll).

  • John Edwards is a MUST! A long time supporter and this AD is superb! I've donated many times because I BELIEVE he's genuine and CARES for America! Please donate to his campaign... PLEASE help him, we NEED him!

  • Brilliant ad. Edwards is a Populist with nothing to lose. No other candidate can or is willing to take that stance. Just ask yourself: Where will Hillary and Barak be should they lose the primary? Where will Edwards be? More politics and another run in 2012? Populists, like Edwards, are often labeled by the unthinking as "demagogues." But you're not a demagogue until you fail or refuse to deliver on your promises.

  • They put this out on the Internet in hope to raise money to buy TV ads. Edward's is the ONLY candidate who has consistently stood up for the people against the big corporations. Since he started his campaign he has more often than any of the others been the first candidate to announce his plans and the others like Clinton and Obama have followed behind him. Let's elect the real leader, Edwards and not the followers.

  • while i prefer obama to edwards, he certainly comes in a close second... however, this is cheeeeeesy! if anything, i got a good laugh out of it.

    ha ha... ha ha ha...

  • If you got a good laugh, then yes. IT WAS SUPPOSED TO BE CHEESY, that's the point. It was supposed to create a "good mood" in people and make them laugh and smile. It wasn't supposed to tell you all that he thinks. He has a 90 PAGE POLICY BOOKLET for that. It was supposed to show you him and his family.

  • and that it most definitely did... in a very cheesy manner.

    hey, i like edwards. i sense some defensiveness on your end.

  • Love it!! Go John!!!!! ...and Liz

  • This video is awesome! It made me smile.

  • Then it worked.

  • Sorry should have said they could integrate

    "CNN polling says the Only Democrat to beat all Republicans"

  • they could integrate something about "the only Democrat to beat all republicans"

  • "One Man..."

    Very Traileresque. Moving. Put it on TV!

  • seriously,

    get a version of this up on TV I'd imagine the creativity would break through

  • great video!!!

  • why isn't this on TV??? this seems great and original..

  • WOW!! EDWARDS 08!
