Election day rant aside, I'm sure everyone of the producers of those political ads feel they're trying to the same. But that frame of mind is just the point I'm making. To create something that has legs that can exist beyond a specific moment or action in time is an essential element of art.

I don't know if there's a video opportunity here, but I'm betting there has to be.
