The Political hacks at MoveOn.org recently teamed up with other hacks from a variety of disciplines, such as Ben Affleck ("acting"), Markos Moulitsas ("blogging"), Oliver Stone ("directing") and Eddie Vedder ("thinking") among others, to run a contest designed to get regular people to create their advertising for them. The contest, Obama in 30 Seconds, was judged by the above and other entertainment and media has-beens and also-rans, and was designed to find "really creative ads that will engage and enlighten viewers and help them understand the grassroots energy that's driving Barack Obama's campaign." MoveOn and I agree that, if anything in the political world requires explanation to be understood, it's the Obamanauts.
