The age disparity between the two candidates in the upcoming election is significant. John McCain is 71 years old. By contrast, Barack Obama is 322 years old in dog years.

Q. Why did John McCain cross the road?
A. There was an Old Town Buffet on the other side.
Q, Why did Barack Obama cross the road?
A. To help the other side.

After Barack Obama claimed to have campaigned in 57 states, John McCain should have sent him the name of a good Alzheimer?s specialist.

John McCain rolled up his sleeves and went offshore in the Gulf of Mexico looking for oil for American drivers. Barack Obama responded by going to the shores of Hawaii, taking off his shirt and oiling up his torso for American soccer moms.

Barack Obama’s camp claims that John McCain was cheating in their first forum appearance because he actually gave straight answers to the questions. Politicians aren’t supposed to do that.

Any candidate that John McCain picks to be his vice president will necessarily be a younger candidate than he is. Any candidate Barack Obama picks to be his vice president will necessarily be better candidate than he is.

It’s a hard election for conservatives this year. They’ll have to hold their noses tight in order to cast a vote for John McCain. But they’ll have to hold on even tighter to their wallets if Obama gets elected.

The sad fact is that if John McCain is elected President he might not last another four more years. A sadder fact is that if Barack Obama is elected President then America might not last another four more years.

With the election now less than a week away, the push for votes and voting is coming to a frenzy. Yesterday alone I got several emails from friends with a very cool viral marketing spot for voting and of course I did my "viral marketing" push to other friends, with their names of course. :-)

A comma is a tiny punctuation mark that can change sentences completely upside down when not used correctly or not used at all. The following marketing clip for the Brasilian Press Association makes this fact quite clear in a beautiful and eloquent way.

This is now the 3rd time that neighborhood 7-Eleven(R) stores offered a somewhat unscientific yet scarily accurate presidential coffee cup poll. Cleverly referred to as 7-election, in the 2000 inaugural event, now-President George Bush out-cupped Democratic nominee, Sen. Al Gore by 1 percentage point. Just before the next presidential election in 2004, President Bush coffee cups outsold Sen. John Kerry ones by 2 percentage points. The current 2008 7-election runs until election day and at this time sales of the blue 20-ounce cups for Democratic candidate, Sen. Barack Obama have crushed the sale of the red 20-ounce cups for Republican nominee, Sen. John McCain. Details of the undecided vote are not known at this time.

Very clever 7-Eleven marketing idea. (the McCain staff is now forced to buy a lot of coffee)


You choose Obama, undecided or McCain in coffee




The current 7-election map looks mighty blue

In order to sell season tickets for their women's basketball program, Gonzaga University created a very creative microsite called inspiredseason.com. Visitors of the site are encouraged to sign in with their name and phone number and I would highly recommend that you do that. Your privacy is guaranteed by Gonzaga and I can promise that you'll feel part of the team in a hurry no matter where you live. Along those lines, guerrillacomm.com got a very special phone call from coach Graves. :-)

This has nothing really to do with guerrilla marketing, but it is a great new Mac ad in response to the recently announced Microsoft $300 million monsterous advertising budget. Sweet and to the point.

People often do do not treat public buses with respect and leave their trash in them. To make this issue slowly go away, buses in Holland were made to look like garbage trucks from behind with the message "Don?t turn the bus into a garbage truck. It?s just as easy to throw your trash in the waste bin."
