Getting out the youth vote is the focus of this week's SpIn Focus., as Amy and Sean look at ads from the McCain and Obama campaigns that target young voters. The Obama ad relies on the star power of Justin Timberlake and Jessica Biel, while McCain uses colorful backgrounds and a diverse crowd of spokeskids to get his message across. And MoveOn.org parodies an anti-drug ad to encourage young people to hold an intervention if their parents are planning to vote for McCain.
