I think that the ad was trying to state that since she was a mother (and make tough decisions), she would make a great judge. And I'll admit I did vote for Orie Melvin.

That ad rubbed me the wrong way, and I couldn't put my finger on it until talking to my mom last night (mom is a center- leaning Republican). While i'm sure it was meant to be funny, etc. etc. she was too busy reading her newspaper to spend time with her kids. She spent like 10 seconds talking to the kids and the rest of the time reading her newspaper.
TV ads will never sway me, unless they're extremelly negative towards the other side (in which case they'll make me look more favorably to the other side!). Especially after taking Political Communications during undergrad as well as other poli sci and communications class that dealt with it, they're all manufactured BS. I used to pay attention to them, but now that i'm older and understand things better, I vote based on the candidates positions on issues than a tv ad.
