P2P Politics
In case you haven’t heard about it elsewhere, check out p2p-politics, a collaborative website where anyone can post their election-related homemade advertisements. I particularly recommend the “If the Bush Administration Was Your Roommate” series.
Now there must be some Bush supporters out there with an ounce of creativity and a digital video camera who can upload some content. It’s a little embarrassing to have such an imbalance there. Does anyone understand why there are hundreds of grassroots pro-Kerry ads, but not a single pro-Bush one?

About every person in continental Europe thinks they know why there aren’t pro-Bush grassroot ads.

“Does anyone understand why there are hundreds of grassroots pro-Kerry ads, but not a single pro-Bush one?”
that’s easy. bush caters to big business, rednecks and fundamentalists.
big business doesn’t do grassroots, rednecks don’t understand digital cameras and fundamentalists fear the technology as such.

Well, most of the videos on that site seem to have come from Bush In 30 Seconds contest, which was sponsored specifically for anti-Bush ads.

The question was slightly rhetorical, but I am genuinely surprised that there isn’t a single right-leaning creative hacker type who would bother to post at least a single pro-Bush ad for symbolic purposes. Even if 90% of Bush’s supporters fall under cs’s characterization, shouldn’t that still leave several million potential Bush supporters who might understand digital cameras?
