It is definitely the most creative, innovative, and effective political commercial I have seen during this whole 2006 campaign.
What strikes me about it is how effectively it counteracted my current personal feelings of fear, loathing, and doom - those very feelings that depress my efforts to do more than I'm doing (self-preservation first).
This ad cut through my malaise like a knife through butter. The combination of humor, theatrics, substance, and a REAL candidate, left me uplifted, and, for the moment, revived my hope for the future. It's powerful stuff.
Imagine what would happen if the next three weeks were filled with commercials that remind us that we can still feel good and laugh during our fight for Democracy and the Constitution.
Wouldn't that just be a powerful weapon against everything this administration has engineered in our psyche?
Let me know what you think. Thanks.
