The current U.S. election has moved from the absurd to the ridiculous. More people may tune into Saturday Night Live's recreation of the McCain/Obama debate this weekend than will watch the actual event this evening. And overseas, the election may be getting more attention -- and providing more amusement and entertainment -- than all of the recently released U.S. films and TV programs combined.
Witness this eBay submission from Alan Stevens of MediaCoach, announced over Twitter this morning:
Obama, McCain, Palin, Biden - sound bites for their use
The ideal gift for a Presidential Candidate - a range of sound bites suitable for any occasion. Whether in a "town hall" debate, a TV interview or a set-piece speech, these sound bites will guarantee positive media coverage. Fashioned to your requirements by expert Media Coach Alan Stevens, these sound bites are just what the candidate needs.
Examples include - "Well it ain't worked so far...", "The waitress who poured my coffee this morning told me...", "I have a letter from a soccer mom, which reads...", "I want to speak directly to the people of America.." and other favourites.
Tailored precisely to the winning bidder, these stunning phrases will repay the investment many times over.
Act quickly - must be used before November 4th 2008.
Meanwhile, Democratic political consultant Chris Lehane, provided the sound-bite of the day today, according to the New York Times:
At the end of the day, campaigns are campaigns. In the last five days, it always comes down to a knife fight in a telephone booth.
