New Ads From Bill Richardson

1:41 am EST May 12th, 2007 | News | 4 Comments

I was not wild about Bill Richardson’s first set of ads – too standard issue and stuffy. But this latest one is the kind of thing that will break out of the ad clutter. In 2003-4 I lived in Boston and since that market overlaps with New Hampshire I got to see a lot of presidential ads that most of the rest of the country never saw on tv (for instance, Wes Clark ads) and the ad that probably helped Kerry get the nomination is this one. He – stupidly in my opinion – never ran it afterwards. And of course, it was probably his best ad of the whole election.

    The guy who created the Kerry ad, Jim Margolis, left the campaign in a fee dispute in April 2004. Maybe its why Kerry tanked soon afterwards.

    Jim Margolis has signed up to do ads for Obama.

    Not bad at all–these ads effectively communicate his qualifications and counter the “inexperienced” charge, and they do it without sounding like the high-flown bluster of typical campaign ads.
