When We Left Earth

When We Left Earth is a fascinating Discovery Channel documentary about NASA's early manned missions. I became aware of the series after noticing a spike in searches for when we left earth today while checking the TagTrends tool. This is the kind of search that Barack Obama or John McCain might want to target via AdWords (read 3 Secret Tools for Presidential Election Advertising Campaigns for more details on this strategy). People searching for this documentary are likely interested in the space program. If that's the case, they'd probably be interested in the presidential candidates' space policy. So, buying the exact match [when we left earth] would be an ideal way to reach voters with a specific message.

John McCain's site has an issues page about the space program. I didn't find anything about NASA or a space policy on Barack Obama's issues pages. Does he have a space policy? Knowing that a significant number of people are currently searching online for an offline TV show about the space program, now might be a good time to make sure Obama's space policy ideas are elucidated on the BarackObama.com site.
