They are calling it a game changer. The first citizen political attack ad to gain any traction is up on YouTube and it's already been seen by 2.4 million people. The ad is a sophisticated mash-up of Apple's original 1984 commercial and a doctored version of Hillary Clinton's video conversations. Phillip de Velles, the ad's creator, commented: "There are thousands of people who could have made this ad, and I guarantee that more ads like it--by people of all political persuasions--will follow. This shows that the future of American politics rests in the hands of ordinary citizens. This is not the first citizen ad, and it will not be the last. The game has changed."Click here to see the video.
