Baseball And The Public Option?

This isn't exactlty the kind of an analogy I would make, but as they say if it works...

Not Going To Let It Happen Again

I disagree whole heartedly with Greg Sargent that this ad is linking the civil rights movement to the public option. Unless there is some kind of ultra subliminal message going on here the only possible link is that its a black guy speaking to the camera. Having said that though, I do think its a good and effective ad and anything targeting Blanche Lincoln is fine by me!

I Like It

Senator Chris Dodd who is facing an uphill battle in his reelection campaign released his first ad today. I think its pretty much what you will some from most incumbent Democrats, if they are smart that is, as it plays up praise President Obama gave to Dodd over his efforts on the credit card bill which was recently signed into law. This isn't astro physics folks. You have a very popular President making historic moves that are beneficial for the majority of Americans. It should be a no brainer to hug him in every campaign ad you can put up. But we all know that Democrats don't always use a lot of common sense. Still, I think this ad will be very effective for Chris Dodd. If he is smart he will come up with about 10 more just like it.

Awesome Sauce!

Republican Minority Whip in the House of Representatives, Eric Cantor, decided he wanted to send a little jokey joke along about unions. It would seem his office emailed this youtube vid to media outlets trying to poke fun in anticipation of the EFCA. This ain't quite at the level of Barack The Magic Negro but it's pretty close. Its like the Republicans WANT to lose all their support.


Warning, very vulgar words on the video.

Keep Messing With The Bull And You End Up Getting The Horns

The gloves are off. Time for some good old fashion ass kicking!





Update: If you are looking for an ad for the Rethug Senator from your home state you can probably find it at this youtube channel.
