Hobbes for Lt. Governor Ad: "Rhetoric Can't Raise The Dead"

[George W. Hobbes]

Still shot of Mr. Hobbes shaking hands with Pacific residents.

MR. HOBBES (Voice Over): I'm Mr. Hobbes, and I approved this message.

FADE TO BLACK

The Thrice song "The Artist and the Ambulance" plays, as the lyrics play in white text over the black screen.

Look around and you'll see that at times it feels like no one really cares,

It gets me down but,
I'm still gonna try to do what's right,
I know that there's a difference between sleight of hand,
And giving everything you have,

There's a line drawn in the sand,
I'm working up the will to cross it,
Rhetoric can't raise the dead,

I'm sick of always talking when there's no change,
I'm sick of empty words, let's lead and not follow,

CUT TO Mr. Hobbes sitting on his desk.

MR. HOBBES: Tomorrow, my fellow Atlasians, you and I will go to the polls and vote for who we want to be our next lieutenant governor.  If you pull for me tomorrow, I swear to all I consider holy, that I will pull for you, with every fiber of my being.  If you're sick of empty words, of empty rhetoric, and you just want to do the right thing...join me tomorrow...and let's lead and not follow.

FADE TO BLACK AND FADE OUT.
