Barack Obama is currently leading the polls in the race for the White House. But with the 2008 Presidential election almost upon, he needed one final push to grab the floating voters.

So the Democrats decided to broadcast a 30 minute long infomercial on prime time television, which aired on October 29th on FOX, CBS, NBC and Univision. A World series baseball game was even delayed for the ad!

The Barack Obama infomercial was a gamble due to its length and prime time airing, but viewer response and ratings seem to show the gamble paid off.

It’s a really well made video, and it gets Obama’s message across clearly and strongly. Surely anyone who hadn’t yet been convinced to vote for the man must make their mind up after seeing this video.
