Kos' Donkey Concept Needs Work

Hopefully this will get Kos' attention because his Advertising Concept presented in his post CTG: Casting call for commercial for the proposed advertising of the book Crashing The Gate not only sucks - it is destructive for the Democratic Party and for us winning elections.

It is one thing to write a book that will be read mostly by the choir and hopefully help promote change within the party.

But it is totally something else to show a TV commercial whose concept will just reinforce that the Democratic Party is a Lazy Ass that can't get moving. Yeah that ought to help us get votes!

Seriously the republicans have for years painted us as a party of no ideas and one who can't get anything done. So do we need to give them a visual that they can co-opt and spread all over the internet and possibly use in campaign ads?

I can see their ads now- "Why vote Democrat when even their voters agree that they can't get anything done".

Please Kos if you are using a consultant to come up with these ideas FIRE him. If you aren't - Get One.

If your idea is to sell books and help lose elections then it is a great idea.

FWIW. I do advertising and study advertising and sometimes hidden messages can get lost in an ad that are counter productive to what you really want to say. This is one of them.

Just my 2 cents - but think about it Kos.
