They will do it eventually. Hell, they've started already with the usual suspects saying Bush critics are al Qaeda fellow travellers. You've got Clinton, Dean, Gore, Reid and Kerry landing punches. But it's too unfocussed, too piecemeal. You need to tie it all together quickly, in an ad so shocking it gets talked about.

And get it out everywhere, in all formats, at the same time. Make it a media event. Tease it ahead of the big broadcast. Banner ads. Bumpers. Flash ads. Just the packshot/punchline and the date of the launch. Once you've got everybody talking about it. Wondering what it is. Asking their workmates, friends, neighbours. Then you hit it.

.. because I live in London and I was born in Glasgow, Scotland.

But I love you.

I love your Constitution. I love your Bill of Rights. I love your Declaration of Independence. I love Boston in the Fall. I love the wannabe Hemingway drunks in Sloppy Joe's. I love The Big Green Wall, I love Sammy Sosa's Waveland Avenue broken windows. I love your Blue Plate Specials. I love the Redskins' 68-year choose-the-president win-lose home streak. I love "..and justice for all". I love the Lincoln Park Zoo. I love Big Sur sunsets from an open-top Mustang on Route 1. I love The West Wing. I love the Staten Island Ferry. I love your huddled masses, yearning to breathe free. I love "I wanna be a part of it.." as the moon comes up over the Bronx. I love the sunset from the pier at the end of Duvall Street. Read More
