Snoozing Sandy?

Over the past weekend I was at the in-laws in upstate NY and we were sitting around watching the Sunday talk shows over brunch. This ad for Republican House candidate Sandy Treadwell  http://sandytreadwell.com/Default.aspx    is up on Albany TV

I have to say it had an impact, but maybe not the one Treadwell intended. My brother-in-law and I broke into a skit about "being tired" and "paid for by Sealy Posturepedic".

If Treadwell wanted not to be thought of as some impulsive off-the-wall guy he succeeded. The problem with this ad is he seems to be mimicking Ben Stein's approach in Ferris Bueller.

Note to Republican candidates. People are angry. Anger is an emotion. Don't be afraid to show some yourself.

And while people may be tired of how inept Congress is, don;t look tired yourself.
