Loading ...“Love”
Tuesday, July 8th, 2008Don’t hope for a better life, vote for one.
Maybe the best political advertisment of the cycle thus far.
“I hate war”
Saturday, June 7th, 2008John McCain is running for president to keep the country safe.
McCain’s first general election ad does a very good job of diffusing the impending warmonger attacks that will be hurled against him. Obama probably will use that “100 years” misquote as often as possible. But as someone who has seen war, torture and death first-hand, […]
A Boulder liberal
Wednesday, June 4th, 2008This ad makes me feel sorry for conservatives who attend the University of Colorado. They must have it pretty tough with all those extremist liberals (re: Ward Churchill) running around.
Turning a negative into a positive
Monday, June 2nd, 2008The art of making weaknesses into strengths isn’t done much better than this television commercial for Oklahoma Senator Jim Inhofe.
It’s not often that you hear a politician’s first commercial emphasize his hard-headedness and stubbornness, but that is exactly what the Inhofe commercial does. Running on your weaknesses is one of the best ways to inoculate […]
McCain’s Memorial Day message
Monday, May 26th, 2008A web ad released today recognizes the service of Hispanics.
A proven leader in Nebraska
Friday, May 23rd, 2008Former Nebraska Governor (and Secretary of Agriculture) Mike Johanns is running for Chuck Hagel’s seat in Nebraska in one of the lower-profile races this year.
A solid first commercial. This is a seat we must win, and a loss in Nebraska probably means we were routed across the country.
“Without precondition”
Friday, May 23rd, 2008The RNC’s latest wed ad, attacking Obama’s naivety surrounding his statements that he would meet with rogue nations “without precondition”.
Rawhide returns
Wednesday, May 21st, 2008Not that anyone noticed that I had taken an extended leave of absence to wrap up the semester. But I’m back and looking forward to the summer ahead.
As faithful readers know, I love campaign ads. This summer, I will be posting commercials for statewide candidates around the country to give a flavor for the issues […]
McCain’s mom
Thursday, May 8th, 2008Mom McCain probably will be seen quite often this election season. One way to downplay concerns about your age is to show that your mom is still alive, looks great and has incredible energy. And if your mom can still do so much, surely you can, right? That’s the logic, and that’s why we’ll see […]
If the shoe fits…
Saturday, May 3rd, 2008I wonder if his accountant used to work for Arthur-Anderson. Anyway, lesson learned: If you run for office, make sure your taxes are paid correctly.
