In my opinion, this was unbelievable that she would let her true intentions shine like this! What more could I want for Christmas than something I've purchased with my own money...what a gift-giver she is! This sums it up nicely lol

"We all have a stake in each other"? Is that a stab at Hillary? (pun intended)

Nice touch with the kids afterwards. Good vid.

Video #3:

My opinion on this one is that is just plain sucks. It's dark, it's too much "let's take care of the poor people", it just plain sucks. The music sucks too.

Seem legit, although it's too easy for me to question his intent for bringing in religion into it, given that he's not #1 with the Christians of the party. I like it.

Video #5:

This one is just cheesy.

Video #6:

This is just awesome. This is what it's all about, especially right now.

Video #7:

I like this cause it's too the point and really the focus of why we celebrate Christmas. I don't see the controversy over the bookshelf in the back. I believe him when he says it wasn't intentional.

I liked this one a lot too. Really down to earth and normal...cute.

I can't view them all, they're not coming up for me but:

Hillary: Tax and spending is not a Christmas present. What an idiot.
Edwards: Fits his campaign well. He tries too hard to show emotion through his speech and the lighting.
Obama: Cliche, nothing bad. I think his wife stole the show.
McCain: I don't know why, but I don't like how he uses his POW experiences for political gain. I know it was a big part of his life and who he is, but I don't like hearing about it all the time. I want to know about what he's going to do, not what he's been through. I think he focuses too much on this.
Rudy: Wasn't bad, he tried to get out his political points like Hillary while doing his Christmas ad. It could have been worse, but anytime someone focuses on politics while giving a Christmas ad it's going to be ackward.
Fred: Too long, but classy.
Ron Paul: Great ad that humanizes him. All the other ads show seem to be on the point of a politician trying to seem like a normal guy trying to run for president. Paul's strikes me as a normal guy trying to be a politician to run for president. I like that.

God, Hillary needs to stab herself in the face.

Giuliani should wish he didn't have a lisp.

They were just asking the question on "The Beltway Boys" why we have not seen these Christmas Presidential ads before? Answer: The campaigns were never this early before! Next time around Halloween costume Videos? So they are all just a bit exploitive.

Hillary: Terrible! Reminding people you think the act of giving is what you will take credit for at somebody elses expense is not a welcome holiday message.

Obama: I liked it. Just simple face time. No partisan pandering.

Edwards: Still working the "Two Americas" tear jerker, but he did avoid direct policy statments so I give him credit. We can all "Care" but disagree on the best policies.

McCain: A bit too much "Reporting for Duty" for my taste. And did you see the cross!

Rudy: Again the policy message does not work for Christmas. It did not make me cringe like the Clinton ad, but I did not like it anyway.

Fred: First Class all the way. I know some will say it is exploitive, but the thought does count in my book.

Huckabee: Honest and to the point. Hidden Cross? The man is talking about the celebration of the Birth of Christ. There is no hidden message dumbass!

Ron Paul: I liked it. This is a guy you expect to work in policy talking points every time he speaks. And because he often gets less media face time than others I get that. But here he is just Ron Paul.

I think the bipartisan consensus will be that those are the worst two ads in the bunch.

Hillary's is just stupid.

Obama's was nice and short. kids were cute. i think he's a white guy disguised as a black guy, like roots.

Edwards. right. the poor people. give them money so they can buy more booze/drugs and stay on the street. smart. shows how young and inexperienced he is.

McCain's was ok, but again with the cross thing.

Rudy Guiliani shouldn't talk. ever.

Fred Thompson's was too military for me. and too long.

Huckabee is too christian for me. damned right he put that "bookcase" behind him on purpose. just put a cross up. we know you're a minister anyway. don't be a pussy.

Ron Paul's ad made me think about how much smaller of a man he is than his wife. hopefully she doesn't roll over in bed ever.

I dont understand the controversy around Huckabee's cross bookshelf...I mean he talks about the birth of Christ in his commercial. Its not like he is being subliminal about anything.
