How quickly we forget the
lessons of history. Like Mitt Romney winning votes with a sad looking basset hound. Or the Anti-Kerry wolves.
So while I applaud those Dems that are creating hard-hitting ads that really speak to the issues, I implore candidates to remember: the last few weeks before the election everyone is so saturated with politicians they will hit "mute" at the very site of a podium or sound of the CSI "accusing spooky guy voice." All commonsense is about to disappear for short spell.
Which is why if you do not have a CUTE FURRY ANIMAL, preferably doing something naughty, in the pipeline you are going to miss your audience. Oh yeah, and printing stuff on the screen works even when the TV is muted.
BRING ON THE CUTE FURRY ANIMALS!
Visuals. Visuals. Visuals. And don't forget the closeups!
Anyone seen any? I haven't yet. I'd settle for lizzard...
