The Republicans Yammer

Since We're all not in Florida, I thought I'd give a everyone a sample of how the Republicans are running there.

First, John McCain attacks Mitt Romney's MA Healthcare plan. He seems to be out of cash, since he's got a bunch of web  ads, and this is the only one that's fit for broadcast:

Mitt puts himself on Display in Florida (Miami?):

more

But Romney has cash, so there's more where that came from.

Mitt has money, so he's also on in Spanish:

And talking about himself generically, once:

And twice:

Rudy has an ad up with the same voiceover guy that did Ernie Fletcher's primary ads last spring:

I love that he's playing the Reagan card. And Judges!!!!!

Not much commentary from me; I think these guys are nuts. But watching political ads has always been fun.

•  I think next week

  I'll try and go into some historical ads. These ones frankly aren't that creative. Rudy hired John Brabender, of Rick Santorum fame, so I thought we'd get some better content from him. Oh well.

•  If you want creativity in ads

  You have to have creativity in the campaigns. Not likely to find much of that chez the Republicans this year decade century millennium.

  •  I'm not kidding about Brabender

    I mean, Santorum was blown out, but he got some sucker punches in along the way.

    This one was pretty effective:

    And these were funny:

    Of course, you also have to look at his face. . .

    •  Clever

      Just goes to show that campaign commercials are only worth so much.

  Will eat your face off your skull while you are still breathing!

  Seriously, the guy shouldn't smile; it's like his teeth are extras for the next Saw movie installment.

•  Creativity from repugs?

       The only creativity allowed for ALL repugs after Nixon is: "Tax decreases for the richest American citizens, and tax decreases for corporations".

       NOTHING ELSE is allowed.

       That's IT. In this day and age, repug creativity is utterly limited to cutting taxes for the wealthy.

       That is "The only there, there" allowed by the repugs.

       Key quote: "Democrats believe in welfare for the poor, repugs believe in welfare for the RICH".

       Is there ANY doubt?
