I'll hold my opinion, if you don't already know, until later.

I wish they would be more vocal about getting rid of these people for good. Take what you will out of that.

Doesn’t matter what WE think, we’re not about to vote for them anyway. But for those who are moderate/independent/on-the-fence, it’s more effective to link their vote to a universally unpopular program (Obamacare) than to attack a politician who they may like, have given money to in the past, or have benefited from.

The key think is to motivate those voters to vote against these incumbents, even though incumbents have many advantages. Just remember, Nevada voters gave Harry Reid another six years...

AFP is incorporated as non-partisan so they are limited in the phraseology of their ads.

[Secret Agent Man]

They are not cutting enough. If you can oppose someone for office, you can go after them.

You can have really good ads that get the point hammered home without being an ass about it. it’s called making fun of them by their own liberal hypocrisy. you can prove they suck by what they say and do and making them own it. without being an ass.

Koch Style ad? Just what is that? Is it the lighting, the tone of the announcers voice? They are at least bringing attention to the issue... or is that your problem with the ad?

Everyone has a voice and they just have the money to hold the feet of the left to the heat. Howe about you?

...should it say: "Iowans, don't send Bruce Braley to the United States Senate; send him home."

I think it is for legal reasons, because of the campaign censorship (finance) laws. They can spend money on "issue advocacy" ads, but not endorsing a candidate. Part of the censorship laws which McCain helped the Democrats pass.

A better ad would feature Osama Obama saying “if you like your plan,you can keep your plan,Period” and then a newspaper headline appears (preferably from a major Maoist rag...you know the ones) saying “350,000 Californians to lose health coverage by next month”...then,Osama saying “if you like your doctor you can keep your doctor.Period”...
and then a headline “400,000 policyholders in New York given a list of 15 primary care doctors and 23 pediatricians from which to choose”....

If they were not, the left would not be having epileptic fits over them.

[MinuteGal]

Too often the bright bulbs in the ad agencies overthink, underthink, are artsy-fartsy by nature, sometimes try to be too cute by half in their ideas or think they can sell political campaigns like they sell laundry soap.

They are creative and hard-working types, but stubborn, conceited...and too many are just as isolated from fly-over country folks as the elected representatives they work for. Conservative candidates should shop around and research before they hire an ad agency.

I know all this because I used to work for one!

The ads must be a terrible waste because the Des keep telling us.
