Campaign holiday television ads galore!

‘Tis the season and presidential candidates are competing with the holidays to catch the attention of voters in the early primary states of Iowa, New Hampshire and South Carolina, so some of them have hit the television airwaves.
 
Republican Mike Huckabee’s ad caught attention for an apparent floating cross in the background, while rival Rudy Giuliani manages to make Santa laugh, well sorta. Democrat Barack Obama decided to play it straight, a video message with his wife and two girls.

Do these really make any headway with voters?
