Clicking around ye olde Internets this afternoon, I stumbled across this Google ad on the repost blog of a colleague who was once the subject of a post on this site:
Can’t say I’d heard of SodaHead before, but it turns out to be:
a community that offers a free and dynamic environment to share and gather opinions and meet friends – a place to ask questions, express ideas, and connect with like and not-so-like friends… SodaHeads, as we call them.
So it’s like a more-interactive version of Vote.com, albeit without Dick Morris’ involvement. Moreover, I’ve never seen them advertise on Drudge, so I don’t think one can put them in with the “conservative T-shirt” crowd. It’s hard to say whether the Republican-oriented content of the site whence it came had anything to do with its placement, but given Google’s far-flung content network, I think it’s safe to assume this ad is running on many non-political sites. And it is, at least on the face of it, targeted at those who did vote for Obama.
One shouldn’t make too much of it, but count it as another warning sign that the president’s unicorn may be about to run off without him.
