Presidential hopeful Barack Obama is launching a second television ad in South Carolina called “Chances I Had” which aims to pluck away some of the female vote from rival Hillary Clinton. The 30-second spot, which recently aired in New Hampshire, outlines the “Obama Plan” for education: expand early childhood education and recruit a new generation of teachers.

Here’s the N.H. version which, if Obama uses the John Edwards style of recycling, will likely feature different extras when aired here:

Since we’re talking about the chances Obama had, how about the chance to let Stephen Colbert into the Democratic primary? I know I’m beating a dead horse here, but what his campaign did still pisses me off.

As far as his education plan, it’s actually not too bad… for empty rhetoric. I too support paying teachers more and “turning off the television to instill in our children a sense of excellence.” But who doesn’t?

What I want to hear immediately after Obama’s fanciful orations is a plan to achieve such sweeping goals.
