Right Track / Wrong Track Kerry Ad is Already Out

Wow, that was quick. I hope they can keep up the pace and keep hitting Bush on a daily basis highlighting the previous day's blunders.

•  Thanks

  Good ad.

    Guess I'll have to recommend this.  : )

•  Where is this running?

  It's pretty hard-hitting. I wish there was one more point to Kerry's plan. A three point plant always seems more substantial than just two points. Of course, Bush&co have no points, so there you are.

  •  probably just the internet

    •  TV

      The ad has the "I approved this message" bit that I think is only necessary for TV ads.

      •  That's true

        Living in NY I have no idea what gets on tv but I speculated that they put that on any ad that had potential to go to television.  If they were received favorably on the web site they could make it to the big leagues without alteration.

        But I'm just talkin' out my ass.

•  Holy crap

  Could this be Begala/Carville handiwork? ;-)

  Reminds me of the good old days of 1992. I'd say 5 weeks of this kind of quick repsonse should yield a victory!

•  this is what's called

•  I hope they air this in every state

  God knows the GOP showed them how to do it!

•  asdf

  I wish Bush hadn't stumbled on his words as he said it...  He can't even succede at giving us political fodder.

  by Preston on Fri Sep 24, 2004 at 10:52:06 AM PDT

  •  I like the bumbling

    I think the stumble makes it even more effective - makes him look like more of a bumbling fool.

    by GregNYC on Fri Sep 24, 2004 at 11:00:32 AM PDT

    •  Yeah.

      He sounds like an idiot even when he's saying something idiotic. I think that's good for us.

      I was cracking watching the Daily Show last night. They play that clip and Jon Stewart just says "I don't think that helps you." The way he said it was hilarious.

•  YES!!

  rapid response baby!!

  by smartone on Fri Sep 24, 2004 at 10:52:24 AM PDT

•  great ! most did not see Shrub's fiasco yesterday

  by DonM on Fri Sep 24, 2004 at 10:52:42 AM PDT

•  Kerry should repeat Bush's line

  from the Gore debate 2000, when asked about prescription drug bill, the moderator said well, both of your plans sound similar, what is the difference?  and Bush said,

  "The difference is I can get it done."  

  Ditto, Iraq w/ Kerry vs. Bush.

•  sweet

  It makes me happy to see this quick response on this stupid comment by Bush, of which there are plenty.  Thank you Carville and the like and wise John Kerry in getting them on board.

•  Awesome

  I could watch this commercial all day...so soothing but I'd probably get fired.

  This should get props hardcore - we should definitely tip for the recommended list so all the media slugs that troll this site we'll take a gander and take it seriously.

  by GregNYC on Fri Sep 24, 2004 at 11:04:15 AM PDT

•  My only complaint

  Is that George Worst president ever Bush gives us a clear opening by admitting that Americans think the US is on the wrong track. This would have been a great way to hit him on the foreign and domestic fronts simultaneously. Iraq is clearly a disaster, and Americans have an even MORE dismal expectation for the future after 4 years of Bushco?
  

  by spitonmars on Fri Sep 24, 2004 at 11:13:56 AM PDT

  •  Exactly

    This was my thought as well.  Why not throw a point in at the end -- or perhaps create a separate commercial -- noting Bush's concession that even the pure hell going on in Iraq right now is deemed to be more "right track" than what is going on here at home under his Administration?

•  It's about time!!!

  we should show them that we also know how to play the game. dirt for dirt, thrash for thrash.

•  This ad rules:

  it actually increases my heart rate.

  Kudos to the star of the show, GWB, who is providing all the attack lines that we need.
