Though entirely political in message. This animated ad is one of the better uses of data that I've seen that is targetted to the mainstream US public. I saw this ad as a side-bar on cnn.com and wish I could embed the full flash version which shows the lines for the unemployment rate going down in red, and then changing to white when Obama enters office and climbing steadily over time.
Statistics can be dangerous in elections (because they are so often wrong, or make the politician seem wooden like Al Gore), but in this case I think it may resonate. What do you think? The ad links to a page showing a more detailed chart / ad for Obama.
