It'll Rot Your Brain: Campaign Ads Thread

...Crist ...The guy is an animated cadaver (in fact he looks a bit like he is in that condition actually).

Um, look who's talking, Mr. Ripped.

[??????????]

It may be a waste of money to pound Crist anymore. The guy is an animated cadaver (in fact he looks a bit like he is in that condition actually).  He is just not relevant anymore.

True, I asked my wife the same thing when I saw it. I find it hilarious though that Rubio hasn't bothered with Meek.

Oh my! A personal attack!  Moderators, sic the impoverished aristocrat!  It is time to get the tumbrel out of the garage.

By the way, I would have certainly have done my little gun show, unlike these repressed gentlemen.

I know it was a personal attack, but it was meant fondly, Herr Aschenbach.  I don't think any old man can expect to get away with critiquing the appearance of any other old man without a little ribbing.

By the way, are 'guns' the forearms or the biceps?  Heh heh, bi-ceps.

That interview with Fiorina is the best part.

Great ad, to be sure.

[Torie]

It was either outsourcing jobs or shutting down. What gives the ad punch though is tying that to the five corporate jets thing and tripling her salary. That just does not look good.

The Minnick ad has drawn some controversy..

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.

[Ronnie]

That was an effective ad on Boxer's part.  Fiorina needs to respond to it somehow.

Then again, Fiorina's recent attack ad is pretty good as well:

I'm watching the Giants game online, and I've gotten heavy Rubio & Scott ads.

[Vepres]

Being bombarded by ads for the Senate race from both sides all day today, all attack ads too.

[Ronnie]

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

HAHAHAHA

This ad made me automatically like this guy.  Too bad he has no chance in hell. ;(

Which accomplishes absolutely zero. I think most folks would stipulate that Feingold is a more affable chap than say, to take a name at random, Harry Reid. Folks are not voting against Feingold because he is an ahole.

Got to mix in the positive ads with the negative ones. Can't go all negative.

Edit: Plus, I'm sure it contrasts nicely with the image that Johnson is attempting to paint of Feingold currently.

What?  Dude.  

- Improving likables helps.  If someone hates everything russ has ever voted for, they're not a swing voter in this race.  Similarly, if people genuinely like you and know of you, it helps no matter what election you're in.

- Appearing authentic in your beliefs (which I believe that Russ is) can only help.  What was Bush's old slogan?   "You may not agree with me but at least you know where I stand" or something?
Appearing authentic (which Feingold is imo) is in your beliefs is a legitimate brand image,

[Torie]

Folks already think Feingold is likable Lunar. Whatever, I think it is a total waste of money that will change zero votes. But maybe the ad just shows, that Feingold really does not have any arrows in his quiver. I assume he is not leading a clarion call to support the major Obama initiatives in his race is he?  I mean, is he running ads saying the stimulus money was the cat's meow, and Health Care Reform is great, and folks will realize it once they start getting benefits?

Ok, they had one bright eyed ad almost 30 years ago when old man Reagan could continue to arm and fund terrorists.

LOL you reminded me of a great Onion headline:
"Reagan declares early afternoon in America, takes nap"
