tv ad

Scott Brown was an obscure suburban lawyer/legislator.

Carly Fiorina was the former CEO of one of America's top corporations.

These ads--direct and authentic--are why Brown is getting sworn into the U.S. Senate tomorrow. Voters get a clear , unfiltered sense of what Brown's message is 

This art house web ad, is why Fiorina probably won't get to the Senate. To the extent it conveys useful information about her opponent, it's lost in bizarre metaphors.

This is part of the reason not to recruit self-funders; they seem enamored of expensive creativity that just doesn't work, like this nonsense from Ned Lamont in 2006.

We need a lot more Wrentham in our 2010 campaigns and a whole lot less Hollywood.

Evidently the Obama campaign is already working on their concession speech based on the tenor of this ad

Yep, MCCAIN WINS!

the Mac camp ought to appropriate this for our own purposes, althouge FNC announcers might be more appropriate. I suspect sharp objects will be removed from the NBC studios election night

What's amazing is how far the Obama brand has faded. In the spring, the freshness and pwoer of the Obama brand seemed likely to sweep all in its path http://www.patrickruffini.com/2008/02/13/the-marketing-of-the-president-2008/ offering a positive vision that would end the painful Dubya years.

This ad offers merely fear of the opposition. This seems more akin to the Bush 1992 race against Clinton than anything resembling Obamamania.
