The poetry is a bit on the weak side. A little better writing would have helped a lot. However, the message is spot on and the little girl is as cute as a button.

It was… amusing, but also disgustingly partisan. More and more, I’m getting the feeling that the fact that I’m going to have trouble deciding who to vote for because I actually care about the specific issues rather than looking for the D or the R next to the candidate’s name puts me in the minority this year, and that scares me.

Yea, that ad wasn’t really for independent voters, it was for democrats who were inspired to get on the ground in '08. Here is an [ad for independent voters](http://www.nbc.com/saturday-night-live/video/undecided-voter/1418227/)
