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.

[Small Business Owner of Any Repute]

... what.

Worst.  Ad.  Ever.

I would go as far as saying that is worse than Herseth's ad.

Haha, that was kind of funny. If I didn't know better, I would have thought he was a Republican.

For those particularly interested in TV ads, Swing State Project has a good list every morning and afternoon of the latest ones that have been released.

Hmmm... I wonder if that was intentional?

I doubt it, most Democrats seem eager to embrace Obama and his policies.

I think that's the point of the ad.

Reminds me of that south dakota one:

I haven't seen an ad since the primaries. Gotta love living in an uber safe district, though I'm sure I'll sit through some serious good ol boy ads spilling over from MS-1, TN-8, and AR-1 sooner or later.

This campaign stump speech clip brought to mind that play, "The Death of a Salesman."  The crowd seemed more interested in chatting it up with each other than savoring the candidate's fire and brimstone red meat fare. Perhaps they sense that they are at the center of ground zero.

That was a rather ugly scene.  Though, I don't really think Strickland has a chance at winning anymore.

[Sam Spade]

This ad is causing some stir.

I no understand.

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.

It was the teacher's ex-husband apparently.

Bill Young (FL-10) released his first tv ad today: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=x6LFyPzE4w0&feature=player_embedded

btw, notice the cool aviators he's wearing at the end.

[CatoMinor]

By John Dennis (R) challening Pelosi, I like the ad. Anyone think he'll break 15%?

Ugh this DGA line of attack makes me question why I associate myself with the party.

He's always had money, earlier in the campaign he was only raising like $20k, but he still had $400k in the bank. Plus, every corner has a building with his name on it, so no need for campaign signs. He's done a lot, and brought a lot of money to our community.

And in living rooms all across America, spouses turn to one another and say "Who's Pelosi?"

[Oakvale]

Where on earth did the GOP get the impression that anyone cares/knows who Nancy Pelosi is?

Now that is dumb. The little bit at the end with the "McCain-Feingold-incumbent-protection-mandated" thing is even dumber since that doesn't apply to web ads.
