Barack Obama's new TV ads are coming fast and furious now, part of his push to close the gap between him and Hillary Clinton in New Hampshire. Obama's campaign this morning unveiled its fourth ad in the Granite State, a minute-long spot that breaks from the more muted ads he has been running. This ad, called "Choices," touts Obama's work as a community organizer and his willingness to forgo a more lucrative career path.

One of Obama's professors from Harvard Law School, Laurence Tribe, says in the ad: "It was inspiring, absolutely inspiring to see someone as brilliant as Barack Obama, as successful, someone who could've written his ticket on Wall Street, take all of the talent and all of the learning and decide to devote it to the community and to making people's lives better."

After all these ads, you can bet Team Obama is going to want to see him polling more competitively with Clinton, who holds about a 20-point lead.
