The most brilliant political ad of fall campaign?

by

The National Republican Senatorial Committee shows how to run against a popular Democratic governor in a state where the Democratic president is unpopular.

Meanwhile, in the Golden State, the increasingly desperate Barbara Boxer is clinging to Obama’s coattails.  Note that this president’s rhetoric in Ma’am’s ad doesn’t cite any specific legislation that his California candidate supported.  You can support her less partisan opponent here.

UPDATE:  They’re pulling the ad:

GOP sources said they expect the ad to be taken down in light of new reports that it was filmed in Philadelphia, and that a casting call was looking for characters with a “‘hicky’ blue collar look,” according to a report from Politico.

The hasty move to pull the ad is a sign Republicans are seriously concerned that the revelations could threaten John Raese‘s (R) surging candidacy in the Mountain State.

“No one at the NRSC, or associated with the NRSC, had anything to do with the language used in this casting call,” said NRSC spokesman Brian Walsh. “We do not support it, and suffice to say, we would encourage our contractors to never work with this outside agency again.”

Walsh also said that the use of actors is common in political ads from both parties.

Left-wing blogs are all over this.  Guess they have to exploit whatever they can to gain some traction in a race that is slipping away from the Democrats.

UP-UPDATE: The NRSC did not write the casting call. And the Raese campaign had nothing to do with the ad.

  2. The ad’s specific complaints are of Obama “spending money we don’t have… stimulus… Obamacare.” In other words: economic and fiscal issues.

    I’ll bet you that won’t stop the knee-jerk reaction of the left-liberals: “Raaaaaaysist!”

    Of course, there is a connection. Left-liberalism is socially *un*just, and the Democratic party is historically the party of people who want to keep racial distinctions and divisions going. Frightened left-liberals, seeking to cling to power and avoid self-examination, usually need to deflect attention from those facts and usually do it by accusing others. That’s the connection.

  4. Oh, man, I don’t know if this is going to work. I mean, the media tell me that Obama and his policies are super-popular among everyone but white racists with severe body odor. Is it really a smart idea to run against such popular and successful policies?

  5. They are running the same kind of ads here in GA against Barnes. A couple old guys sitting around talking bad about Roy. Seems like a popular way to go…

  7. Not only do we have the “two-good-ol’-boys-sitting-around” dishing on Roy Barnes, Nathan Deal has similar ads (clearly parodying the other ads) doing the same thing. Both only serve to cancel one another out. When I saw them doing this technique in WV, I rolled my eyes, having OD’d on that style of commercial here in Georgia! Too bad they couldn’t have copied the Monty Python style of two frumpy housewives dishing in a laundromat or a diner (especially if it’s two men in drag using screechy voices like the Monty Python guys used to do so hilariously).

    At least it would be something to look forward to during the commercial breaks!

  9. Matt Taibbi DEMOLISHES the Tea Party in the new Rolling Stone.

    So, when you say ‘DEMOLISHES’ do you mean, he has caused the Tea Party movement to dissolve and cease all of its activities, or do you mean he rehashes a hackneyed set of anti-Tea Party talking points that are eagerly lapped up by dim-witted liberals desperately in need of having their prejudices reaffirmed?

  14. Trying to figure out how Proud Liberal’s comments relate to the post to which he attaches them.

    They don’t.

    The article is just a rehash of how the desperate and racist Obama supporters try to smear tea partiers by claiming that, if you’re on Medicare, you don’t deserve to criticize government activity.

    Problem is, what Obama and Matt Taibbi don’t realize is that those people on Medicare have paid a chunk of their paychecks every year to the Federal government to fund their Medicare.

    And now Kicked Puppy and the rest of Obama’s voters, all tax cheats and racists who have never worked a day in their lives and never paid a dime into Medicare, are now taking that decades of money out of peoples’ paychecks away so that they don’t have to work or pay their own bills — and then namecalling seniors who protest the government breaking its promises to them as racists.

    Kicked Puppy screams and whines and demands, just like his welfare-addicted failure Obama, that those hardworking seniors fund his laziness. But unlike the Obama Party, where tax cheating gets you Cabinet positions, the rest of the country doesn’t take well to Matt Taibbi, the liar and Obama Party tax cheat, trying to smear them as racists for demanding that Matt Taibbi pay his own way instead of stealing from others.

  15. By the way, the “article” is actually titled “Tea and Crackers”.

    As always, the failure Obama screams and whines and tries to claim that anyone who disagrees with him is a racist.

    Let’s see how Kicked Puppy rationalizes that Obama is always right and how everyone who disagrees with Obama is a racist. That’s the Obama Party creed — achievement based on skin color, not character or performance. Racist ideology based on hate to the core, just as Kicked Puppy is a racist.

  18. what Obama and Matt Taibbi don’t realize is that those people on Medicare have paid a chunk of their paychecks every year to the Federal government to fund their Medicare.

    Not to mention, rigged the system so that there is no option for most people but Medicare.

    It’s as though the Government enacted legislation that made all food except macaroni and cheese too expensive for all but the most wealthy and connected, then set up itself as the main provider of macaroni and cheese.

    So then, people who are sick of nothing but government macaroni and cheese say, “We’d like something different,” idjits like Proud Lib can say. “How ungrateful! There you are, stuffing your face with government macaroni and cheese and complaining about being fed. What an idiotic hypocrite you are.”

    They will point at the rich and say, “The only reason you have to eat macaroni and cheese is because the rich are eating all the other food.” They will then offer a solution; they will tax the rich until the only food they can afford is macaroni and cheese. Then, everyone will be equal.

    And certain proud liberal idiots think this is a good plan.

  19. So not all Republicans are billionaire golf players in Polo Ralph Lauren shirts? Nice ad, btw.

    In Maine, the Democrat candidate attacks Wall Street while taking perks from Wall Street including private jets, mansions, and Caribbean vacations while her boyfriend takes a $200 Billion Federal bailout.. The Republican candidate own one of those “Main Street” businesses the Democrat claims to support. His ad shows him sitting on the front porch of his house with his wife and kids.

    Makes of that what you will.

  20. I started donating to other campaigns that are now competitive. OH PA MO FLA AR AK ND CO Senate seats are all sewn up now. I’m sending money to house candidates now. Could the good guys really win 100 seats? Biggest rout since 1894? Smart money says Republicans could end up with 32 Governors as well.
    Gosh this is fun. And the most conservative people inages are going to win. Thanks to the leftist Democrats for giving people a contrast.
