It'll Rot Your Brain: Campaign Ads Thread

[JohnnyLongtorso]

Please post campaign ads in this thread, rather than posting individual threads for each of them.

Here's another inexplicable anti-spending metaphor, this time from Paul Hodes:

Not as bad as Stephanie Herseth-Sandlin's poo-themed ad, but still pretty bad.

Some education group put out an anti-Martinez ad that included a teacher whose husband had been sent to jail by Martinez, so it's apparently Denish's fault they decided to use that particular teacher. That's what I understand, anyway.

Here is a Linda McMahon ad. I think she has a very good presence on TV - she comes across as strong, calm, and reassuring, somehow, who won't be pushed around by the boys in Washington.

Say what you will about McMahon's abilities as a candidate, but her ad team has been top notch.  As you or someone else said, McMahon has a lot of experience in marketing a crap product - and it shows.  

If only 13-year-old boys could vote...

Glenn Nye boasts about his independence:

"Being independent means voting for what you believe in."

Of course, Nye doesn't appear to believe in anything other than getting re-elected.

Yeah, because Buck has been a font of consistency from the primary to the general.

Yeah, because Buck has been a font of consistency from the primary to the general.

Actually, he has been. I challenge you to find one thing he truly flip-flopped on, and didn't just shift emphasis.

Edit: I grant you he flip-flopped on abortion, but that's the only one I can find.

17th Amendment repeal and the fair tax.

Grayson is filthy rich, he could buy a radio station to become a talk show host if he wanted to.

I saw this ad this morning:

Glenn Nye attacks Rigell's ad which attacked Nye's ad. If Rigell puts out an add attacking this ad, I think the universe might collapse in on itself.

I assume that all you Dems were a-okay with Elizabeth Dole's campaign strategy and found it to be unique and funny, increasing further your love of Elizabeth Dole.

Not a Dem, but I can't stand Paul, and I think it's an absurdly stupid strategy and pretty much shows that Conway has no idea how to make up the 10 points or so that he's down by.

Yeah, Urquhart is as big of a nut as O'Donnell, just not in an entertaining away.
