Political Ads

Spent the morning in the doctor's office and was irritated by inane television shows. But I did get to see the Democrats' TV spots (their SC primary is this week). They compare quite favorably to the Republicans TV ads of a week or two ago (that I saw once again at the doctor's office).

Hilary Clinton especially was effective in her spot. She first (but briefly) knocks GW Bush for the economy and other things, and then talks about jobs, pink slips, and medical crises where the picture flips from her to different scenes-one of them a pregnant mother with 3 children and her husband (suggesting family values and pro-life all in one-but we know better.)

Obama talks about jobs and manufacturing going overseas. He gives the message that he can unite the country. He's not as effective as Hilary, but he seems to have something to say.

John Edwards doesn't speak in his TV spot, and it wasn't effective at all.

Now don't think this means I am jumping ship...I am just commenting that the Dem's TV ads were much more effective and appealing than the GOP's.

God bless America!
