Christmas greetings from the '08 presidential campaigns

For whatever reason most of the contenders in the 2008 race decided to put out holiday (i.e. Christmas) campaign ads.

Mike Huckabee starts off the bunch:


Rudy Giuliani tries to be funny and challenges Huckabee to a red-sweater-off:


Rudy Giuliani tries to be funny again, but verges on the unsettling:


McCain recalls some fond Christmas memories as a POW:


Ron Paul's ad brings in some song:


And the Democrats follow suit. John Edwards with a more sympathetic message:


Hillary Clinton focuses on her issues:


And Barack Obama brings out his family, though it comes off as a little awkward:


John Edwards wins the battle of the holiday ads, imo. Second place to Mitt Romney for not running a Christmas ad (although many will say that this is to avoid drawing attention to his Mormon faith). And as much as I don't personally like Senator Clinton, it's great to see universal Pre-K brought into a campaign ad.
