DAVENPORT, Iowa—Get ready for dueling Democratic candidate addresses on the night before the Iowa Caucuses.
Earlier in the week, Hillary Clinton’s campaign purchased air time for a 2-minute message to Iowa voters to be shown as an advertisement on 6 pm newscasts across the state on Jan. 2.
Today, Obama’s campaign bought air time for its own 2-minute message on the same newscasts on the eve of the caucuses. Obama will use the time to deliver a pre-taped “closing argument” for the Iowa campaign.
Obama communications director Robert Gibbs said the campaign had been considering such a message even before the Clinton campaign purchased time..
“We’ve been looking into it. Other candidates have been looking into it,” said Obama communications director Robert Gibbs.
“It’s a much different medium. Normally we’re communicating in 30 seconds (in television ads). This will be a much longer argument for why Barack Obama should be president,” Gibbs added.

America is a Democracy - We are not a Monarchy.
Wiser folks than us - saw to it long ago, that we be fortunate enough to realize this life blessing.
Nepotism may be fine for the old-corner-store but it will only serve to fail us again -as it has, most resoundingly, for the entirety of this millennium.
Voting for the worst policy decision in our life times does not make one 'experienced'. It -IS- high time America elected a woman as commander-in-chief. When a self made woman of conviction and talent stands up and demonstrates the character that can stand as an example for us all - we should stand behind her - with conviction and fortitude. Hillary Clinton is not that woman. She is the spouse of a former and popular President. In a nation, 300 million strong, are we to believe that the person most suited to be the President just happens to be related to the last President ?!
Are we really to believe this is the case ?
Will we make this mistake, again ?
Barack Obama has the strength and certitude to take America in a new and positive direction - a direction that our evolving nation - being formed all around us all as we pass through our daily lives - very much is in need of. There really is an immediacy of the 'now' that we all share. We truly must begin to think big again and to face the immense challenges before us in brave and selfless ways again - like those people in the old faded photographs on our walls did - for us. It really is time to wake up again America. The time is, most certainly, now.
Barack Obama for President of the United States of America.
It's time for America to Rise and Shine again.
