Discussion: Alison Grimes Hits McConnell For Shutdown Threat In Dark New Ad

Discussion for article #226813

Poor visuals, bad sound, but right message. Overall a pretty sucky ad. The message gets lost in the blinking visuals and loud music.

The good news for Grimes: The 5-term incumbent she’s facing is at 43.0 percent, according to Polltracker. I hope her strategy of centrist-but-not-afraid-to-hit-hard-at-McConnell works to keep the undecideds from going his way.

I worry that the campaign of the female centrist Dem southern dynasty candidate in my state (Georgia) is too damned polite.

I hope the republicans in congress are just stupid enough to pull the same stunt next month. it will be close enough to the election, that even our traditionally short memoried citizens will remember.

so yeah, go for it sen. McConnell.

This one is okay but it’s not nearly as good as the ads with her and a constituent sitting on the side of the road in front of an old gas station asking McConnell questions about comments he’s made. Those ads are brilliant. But for some reason she’s lost her lead and is now a bit behind. I really don’t know why.

But then this is-- from my read-- a web-based ad.
Not necessarily for broadcast-- so I’m OK with the production deficiencies–
as long as she’s banging the drum every day-- some way, somehow.

It’s almost Labor Day. It’s almost time.

I know it’s shallow, unfair and unbecoming of political debate but McConnell is just too damned ugly to even look at!!! He’s got a face only a mother could love.

If we think that’s dark, it’s because our situation is dire, and any honest reflection of it must of necessity be dark.

The GOP doesn’t look back on the 16-day government shutdown as a total waste of $24 billion that accomplished nothing. They see it as their way of defending fiscal responsibility.

This should not just be a web ad.
