Now that the focus is on the many state primaries held on next Tuesday, February 5, the political campaigns are spending money on advertising in those states. Which means we get to see those ads in here in New York, as many delegates are up for grabs. We haven't seen any ads from the Republican candidates (perhaps realizing spending ad money in blue-city NYC is an expensive and not very cost-effective solution) yet but we have seen ads from Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama.

Clinton's ad (above) emphasizes her NY Times' endorsement.

Obama's ad (above) features Caroline Kennedy speaking about how Obama fulfills the promise of change.

Which ad do you think is more effective?
