Here's some more unscientific sampling data.

Check the facts, vote real change. Vote Ron Paul.
The man has actually made my family closer. My father voted for Bush, twice, much to the horror of my mother, sisters, and brother. I've been voting libertarian for years, and my sisters and mother voted for a Democrat in each of the last 4 elections.
Now, the entire family has found someone that really inspires them. Never, ever, thought it would happen or that Dad would EVER support someone who might raise his taxes :)

That out of the way - man, I am with you on this 100%.

I wonder why the designer chose "progress" as the tag line for the poster. That's not part of Obama's campaign lexicon. It's not on his official posters. He didn't use the word a single time in the Iowa speech or the South Carolina speech or even the keynote of the 2004 Democratic convention that brought him to national prominence. Obama words are "believe," "change," and "hope." "Progress" is a Salieri word. Not a Mozart word.
Many paths up the mountain.
I'd aver that hacking the original is like playing a cover of a song on an album as opposed to an original.
My own thought would be to have a cycling set of images, differing only in the phrasing, so as to send a number of powerful messages.
Obama is an excellent writer, and he employs excellent writers. Their catchphrases are each useful and important.
One of the few areas where Mitt Romney agrees. He's paraphrasing two or three Obama catchphrases in his most recent speeches.

Pass it on. Thanks.
Dave -- I'm following you (johnmac13) on Twitter and saw your comments
I don't know if you watch soap operas. There is a new hot one going on now that is packed with entertainment. The main character is one Barak Obama. You won't find it on the channels that carry most soaps. You can see parts of it at various times on Fox News. Here is a summary of the past ten days or so.
Last Week - March 2 thru 8
National Enquirer for March 17 in grocery store - Obama's Secrets - Interesting stuff - friends with terrorist Bill Ayers who boasts that he participated in the bombings of the New York police headquarters, the Capitol building and the Pentagon in the early 1970s. Says he didn't do enough - might do more in the future. Then there was Obama's pastor at the Trinity United Church of Christ in Chicago where Obama and his wife attended for 20 years, listening to harangues like the following: "The government gives them the drugs, builds bigger prisons, passes a three-strike law and then wants us to sing 'God Bless America.' No, no, no, God damn America, that's in the Bible for killing innocent people. God damn America for treating our citizens as less than human. God damn America for as long as she acts like she is God and she is supreme." This pastor Wright is a supporter of Louis Farakhan, and once took a trip to Tripoli with Farakhan.
Monday, March 10? - Scene - Hannity and Colms - Sean Hannity attempts to ask Al Sharpton about some of Obama's connections. Sharpton explodes with a stream of irrevelant nonsense that almost blew Hannity out of his chair. Hannity tries a few more times to get answers, to no avail.
Wednesday, March 12 - Just when it looks as if Obamas past is starting to catch up with him, two other Democrats take the heat off him, although inadvertently. Geraldine Ferraro makes statement that if Obama were white or a woman, he would never have got to where he is now. (She should know you can get in trouble these days for telling the truth.) Uproar in the media, mainly leftist. Ferraro resigns as Finance Chairperson of Hillary's campaign. Democratic governor Elliot Spitzer revealed to have spent 80 or 100 thousand dollars on prostitutes. Now with stories as juicy as that, who has time to listen to stuff about Obama, of which there will be more later on, anyway? You wonder if he thought to send to send thank-you notes to Ferraro and Spitzer for getting him out of the hot seat for the tine being - "You made my day!"
Thursday, May 13 - Another blurb from Jeremiah Wright plays out - he says Obama grew up just like Jesus, in a nation controlled by rich white people!
Well you get the drift - stay tuned for more interesting developments with these characters in the next installment of Obamarama.
Also, out of the three major candidates left, Obama has the worst senate attendance record (only voting 82% of the time)

I too favor Obama if the only choices were Obama, HRC, McCain. Luckily, there are other candidates and other parties.
"One of the ways you control what people think is by creating the illusion that there's a debate going on, but making sure that that debate stays within very narrow margins."
Why are so many pro-Obama voters anti-HRC? Their voting record and actions seem very similar to me.
