DES MOINES, Iowa -- Chris Dodd's barbers are back.
The Democratic presidential candidate began running two television ads in Iowa on Thursday that feature actors playing small-town barbers. The barbers, used in a previous Dodd ad, take swipes at rivals Hillary Rodham Clinton and John Edwards.
One commercial shows the barbers in their shop, watching a Clinton ad in which she discusses her plan to expand health coverage.
"Is that a new plan?" asks one barber.
"The only way you're going to get health care passed is to bring Democrats and Republicans together," the other says.
The exchange highlights Clinton's failed effort as first lady to expand health care.
The other spot shows the barbers in a diner, watching a televised Democratic debate in which Edwards says, "I've been fighting them all my life."
One barber quips, "You know, there's a lot of talk about fighting out there."
The other replies, "Yeah, but we need a president who is about results."
In both ads, the two look at each other and exclaim, "Why not Dodd?"
The ads then tout the Connecticut senator's accomplishment in Washington.
The spots are slated to air statewide on cable outlets and broadcast stations.
As first lady, Clinton headed an effort to expand health care that collapsed after partisan bickering. Edwards is a former trial lawyer who has made his vow to fight for working families a central theme of his campaign.
An earlier ad that featured the barbers and Dodd's brilliant white hair focused on his career. That spot concluded with a dig at Edwards' much-noted pricey haircuts, with Dodd asking the barbers how much they charged.
Iowa polls show Clinton, Edwards and Barack Obama leading in the state with Dodd in single digits.
Why not Dodd?
Lets see....maybe because he’s a fat, washed-up socialist who has sucking of the Government teat for the last 40 years. If he was a woman, he would no doubt be a bag lady.
Next question.
“Why not Dodd?”
Because he likes to get drunk and double-team waitresses with Ted Kennedy?
Now that you asked, why not Ted Kennedy?
Yeah! Now give that kid a dirty sweat sock and a roll of duct tape.
You'd think that if he has only one accomplishment, the writer could at least list it in this article.
I don't consider him our Senator anymore...especially since he made a big deal about how he was moving to Iowa and taking his entire family with him. Certainly doesn't sound like someone with the interests of Connecticut in mind to me.
Because he’s a dudd? Oh, that might be a qualification for a Demoncrap.
