I have seen the use of 9-11 images in Bush's ads everywhere: top story on Yahoo, and even more surprising, top nat. story on my local news channel's website. What's more, on their poll, 63% so far say it is offensive. And this is Kansas City.
Every once in a while I am impressed. If this thing has legs and Bush takes a hit, this is gonna be good. Just think- each time these ads air, if the idea is in the air that this is offensive (see Dean is Angry and here is the scream again) its a HIT to Bush, not a help.
Things to watch:
- If Bush's poll numbers DROP after a few days of ads.
- If Bush pulls the ads, he admits essentially it was in poor taste and his poll numbers drop.
- Bush has to spend $$ and time retooling his campaign ads.
WOW.
