Remember the guy who did Spitzer's
incredible ads? They're by Jimmy Siegel, a Madison Avenue ad exec looked down upon by political media consultants because he's not part of their crappy club. But he's good. Really good.
Well, he's apparently doing the media for Harold Icke's new 527, the September Fund. And their first ad is good. Really, really good. Phenomenal, in fact.
Media consultants need to start sweating. Because they are being proven the rank amateurs that they are compared to real media professionals.
As for the September Fund, their goal has been to raise about $20 million for their efforts. This ad will be aired on CNN in about a dozen congressional districts. They did a bunch of ads, tested them in suburban/exurban Philly and Columbus, and this one topped them all amongst infrequent Democratic voters and swing voters.
