the castrating hogs ad âmay haveâ propelled ernst? oh please. she owes her campaign (and likely) election to that ad. all the washington dc press corpse loved it; it got endless play along with giggles. how many posts has tpm done on what the issues are in iowa; and then how many about the castrating hogs bitâŚ
and then yesterdayâs hoohaw by harkin has apparently sealed the deal. braleyâs campaign had to deal with that crap the day before the electionâŚ
gawd, i swear every election cycle leaves me more and more depressed about ever re-establishing real governance.

I donât know. I think it was a really bad idea to make such a big deal out of Harkin referring to others whoâve said theyâre voting for her because they think she is attractive. Itâs just silly and I donât think itâs something that would play so well in a state like Iowa. Maybe you could get some mileage out of it in NY or CA but it just doesnât strike me as anything worse than a push in the Midwest.
Note: The anti-Boehner ad offered a dose of Winteregg to cure âElectileâ dysfunction, not erectile.
I thought it was a fun ad.

Fox and Twitter are a lethal combination in getting out stupid, useless, volatile messages.
I for one will be very thankful when this interminable election season is finally over. Let the cast of characters either assume their places in Congress or just go away and donât come back!
Maybe the take away from this election could be that the mealy mouthed milquetoast contingent of the American left has it all wrong. Maybe we should be full throated with our views and to hell with heeling ourselves so as to not upset the middle of the roaders and independents, because obviously honest extremism wins elections.
Our mute button whimpers because of all the abuse itâs received to quieten the voices on the TV MachineâŚ
and SK offers up MORE ads to be ignoredâŚ
Iâm assuming heâs kind of on a list of some kind.
Sorry, this ad from Rick Scott targeting young, single women has them all beat.
