Moveon.org's Ad For Obama And a Shout Out to Lincoln

It was pretty sweet to see one of the finalists in Moveon.org's Obama ad contest take us back to almost 150 years ago when another guy became the unlikely presidential nominee. The spot finished second in the contest, which was judged by a bunch of well-known lefties such as Michael Franti (find his music and listen to it!), Julia Stiles, Steve Buscemi (he rides the F train), John Legend, Lawrence Lessig, Oliver Stone, Markos Moulitsas (Daily Kos founder), and Matt Damon.

But I did deliver it that sunny Saturday afternoon, sandwiched between a baptism and a wedding. I decided to share it publicl
