2010 Election -- Political Ads

Seems like we need a place to post the better, scarier, slicker, dumber and especially most entertaining ads we see as primaries and then November approach.

I'll start with this one from Alabama. It sets the standard high. Very high.

Dale Peterson for Alabama Agriculture Commissioner: We are Better than That!

That'd win almost any race in my state.

LOL. You know, if you look at the other videos at the right side, the first video you'll see is the same ad, but titled "Oklahoma needs a Dale Peterson!"

I like "Who on earth would support such a dummy? And why?"

I guarantee you -- I'll have a few videos one-upping this guy by the time everything's said and done.

What I look forward to: Orly Taitz actually making a TV ad for her CA Secretary of State run.

Favorite of the recent past:

Representative race that made me go WTF in 2008. I couldn't vote for either so I didn't get to vote against Callahan just for making the ad.

The Linda McMahon ads can be a bit funny, especially when you remember that they're coming from one of the leaders of the WWF (or WWE or whatever they're being called now).

Of course the hilarity fades when you get two mailings per week, every week.

This one cracks me up. It first aired during the Super Bowl. Rick Snyder, Republican candidate for Governor in Michigan.

Love this one! BTW, my fiance, another nerd from Michigan, would probably agree with Rick Snyder.

So, this guy is still in the race. He won the Republican primary and is 20 pts ahead in the polls. Michigan will probably have "one tough nerd" as their next Governor.

I haven't seen the ads, but there is so much drama surrounding Joe Miller. He's running for Senate in Alaska. Every other day something else crazy comes out, and I have yet to pick my personal favorite though it may be his hired security overstepping their bounds with a reporter, or him applying for and receiving a low income hunting and fishing license while having a job with a salary over $70,000.

Chuck Grassley has a .... Twitter

Apparently this guy's opponent is a mad scientist selling body parts.

We've all seen the demon sheep, right? DEMON SHEEP!

Bradley Byrne actually supported teaching evolution

Well at least he's wearing clothes?

This one just pisses me off. But it's ok, our candidate hangs out in airplane hangers with terrorists. So he'll save us. Or something.

Mike Weinstein is trying to top Hillary 4 U and ME.

And the now infamous: I'm not a witch. Also in Autotune and SNL.

I felt like this thread wasn't getting love. And I hate to let MC down.

I admit I forgot about this thread, even when Christine O'Donnell said she wasn't a witch.

But you have done well. Very well.
