This should have been running at least once a day on most of the tv stations in any state where there is a disputed race — no reason for an ad buy in NY, but would love it in other states. Simple, to the point and an answer to the ‘let’s punish the Democrats by staying home’ mentality — do these people think that politics is a video game and they can get a re-stsrt if things go too bad? Sorry guys, you have ‘omly one life left’ in this game.
What I do wish is that tthis had come out about a month ago, and had been the first of a series and had been followed by particular ‘issue ads’ in the same format — dealing with the New Republican plans for SocSec, for health care, and the rest.
Do people think it would have been ‘too strong’ to end the series with one focusing on the people who have died bacuse of Republican policies, from people who our ‘greatest health care system’ failed to gay teenagers committing suicide to people killed by extrewmists attempting to use ‘second Amendment Remedies’?
It may be too late to get this message out — I’ll admit, I’d like a ‘do over’ too — but f Democrats had been running this series of ads, and a similar series of ones that took pride in the accomplishments they’d achevied, which argued — correctly — how good TARP and the Stimulus and HCR have been despite the Republican objections, and which took the ‘moral high ground’ we shouldn’t have conceded to the Right. Then we might just have the Republicans as paniced as they have made us. (Add a third series dealing with and calling out Republican lies — maybe to the tune of the old Eddy Arnold country song “How could you believe m,e when I said that I loved you when you know I’ve been a liar all my life?”)
Think some of us could get ads like these out? Sure, we’re down to 24 days, but in a lot of states a two to five percent swing would make all the difference.
