According to the New York Post, MTV will now run political ads on their network:
Barack Obama is likely to benefit the most from this decision since his young supporters are MTV's target audience.
In it's 27 years of existence, MTV has never ran political ads with the exception of ads encouraging viewers to vote. Most recently, Obama's campaign approached MTV attempting to buy ad space on the network but was met with a decline. Now the network has decided to run political ads as the executive vice president, Jeannie Kedas cites:
"..the youth vote has increasingly played a crucial role in past presidential elections"
In 1992, MTV aired Bill Clinton playing the saxophone during his presidential run which made him very popular among young voters.
MTV must want Obama to win because this recent decision clearly gives him an advantage over that other old man running for president.
In other Obama news, it seems hispanics are finally wising up and getting on the Obama ticket. Read more about this here.
