Vertical Politics tracked down the original “red phone ad”
…and also shared an ad from the Obama camp, in response to Hillary’s ad:
I’m not real familiar with Vertical Politics (the site). From what I’ve seen and their previous comment it would appear they’re an Obama fan. Nothing wrong with that – but it seems to me that another candidate coined that term earlier in the election season.
I’ve also noticed that Obama picked up Huckabee’s phrase (paraphrasing), “We need a candidate who cares about folks on Main Street and not Wall Street.”
Now granted, who knows – there may be countless politicians who have said this but Huckabee was the first I heard that said either of these terms.
…I’m just saying.
Yes, you are right. I definitely took that term from Huckabee. I completely agree with the sentiment he was promoting. I explained it here. http://www.vertical-politics.com/2008/01/about-the-name.html
Thanks for the link Jonathan!
