Bad Ad Watch

9:54 pm EST April 1st, 2008 | Media, Politics | 1 Comment

I know I’m not the target for this ad from a teacher’s unions on behalf of Sen. Clinton – but I can’t help but feel that it’s not a good ad. It’s so morose and the voices so flat. I like to think I can take myself out of it and objectively review an advertisement – for instance, I think John McCain’s bio ad is pretty good, and the only ad I’ve seen so far this season that introduces the candidate as well as this Obama one (why does Sen. Clinton not have a single bio ad?) but this radio ad seems like a dud to me.

    Oliver,

    Your give a damn is way too busted. You seem not to get nuance or understand politics other than superficially.

    the reason Hillary has no ads like these is because of her strategic flawed campaign.

    Bio ads are for politicians who are new and unknown to the public who know that they must introduce themselves to the public.

    Hillary ran as an incumbent, or so she thought she could, as the inevitable nominee. Hillary’s stragtegist Mark Penn felt the country KNEW Hillary already and that she did not need a bio after all she had been first lady for 8 years.

    Penn and Hillary failed to realize that those 8 years were as MRS Bill Clinton not Senator Clinton.

    So that is why she does not have a bio ad
