campaign ads

They've already started rolling out. Some are unintentionally hysterical to the point of being cringe-worthy. Gary Chambers Jr. is running for Senate in Louisiana hoping to unseat Republican incumbent and Foghorn Leghorn cosplayer John Kennedy. He comes out swinging with an ad of him smoking a...

Has anyone else seen this ad and, if so, did you get as big a kick out of it as I did? If you can't watch it, it's a one-minute campaign ad shot like a trailer for a action movie, with voice-over to match.

Post the best political ads of the season here. You don't have to agree with the subject, we are looking for quality, comedy, and marketing impact. I know nothing about this Minnesota race for example, but this is one of the funniest political ads I have ever seen. (Plus it features some...

This is an advertisement for David Brill, Democrat who is currently running for Congress against incumbent Republican Paul Gosar in Arizona's fourth congressional district. Unanticipated information revealed at the end of the spot turns what seems like fairly standard messaging into something...

Mary Hegar is a veteran running for Congress against a Tea Party candidate in Texas. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MJ_Hegar ?v=Zi6v4CYNSIQ Her book Shoot Like a Girl, is in development for a movie possibly starring Angelina Jolie. This is the best kind of publicity a politician can obtain...

Ok, lets say you were wealthy and/or were running a SuperPac. You had a few extra $million. You could make up any campaign ad you want. (And since its a SuperPac you don't need to get approval or coordinate with the campaign.) What would you do? (Note: I'm Canadian, so I don't really see many...

Go! Stark, high-contrast, black & white still pictures or video of the target.

I love the one that keeps running here! It's Letterman nailing Trump, on where his clothing lines are made!:thumbsup::D Anyone else getting better ones?

I think it would be a defining moment for Hillary, and could stop her slide in the polls. Here's the Daisy Ad (It was only shown once): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dDTBnsqxZ3k Just change the narration and you have a perfect attack ad against Trump. Thoughts/Opinions?

Behold the glory of Orly's first congressional campaign ad sQoMP89nN7I

Mitt Romney versus Reality dM9DVC7kd7s I'm under no illusions. Politicians lie. I'm sure someone can reel off a list for Obama. And I would like to see such a list if anyone has one for comparison purposes. I'm certainly not immune to confirmation bias. But Romney does it so often, so...

Wow... way to go, Mr. President :) 2POembdArVo

It's an attack ad disguised as an anti-attack ad. OtOcrS6axnE My hat's off.

BBC Report: http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-us-canada-16549624 It is a Newt Gingrich add. How dare he speak a foreign language :rolleyes:

If you do not like someone, or if they are a rival, or if they are not playing for your side, just quote them out of context: http://news.yahoo.com/inevitable-mitt-takes-hit-144225761--abc-news.html

Let's start with this low blow from Rom Paul supporters: Huntsman outraged at ad targeting adopted daughters Wow. Just wow. :boggled:

I just can't believe this isn't a parody. And it isn't. Someone thought that this cringeworthy mess would help their candidate. HLl7SiGOGAg For those who can't watch, I wish I could describe it. It's something SNL would do to make fun of Gingrich. It's...ok...I give up. Republicans, help...

I get the feeling that whoever emerges victorious as the Republican nominee is going to have a hard time selling themselves to independent/swing voters in the general election. Romney Presses Ann Coulter Into Surrogate Duty A few of her more ridiculous quotes: And plenty more where those...

Here's Romney's latest campaign ad in which he selectively quotes Obama. H3a7FC0Jkv8 http://slatest.slate.com/posts/2011/11/22/mitt_romney_airs_misleading_anti_obama_campaign_ad_in_new_hampshire.html.html Steve S

8EL5Atp_vF0 Yes, this is a real campaign ad.

Now that it's all over I can't help but try to understand an attack ad we had here in California. It was by Carly Fiorina against Barbara Boxer. It shows Boxer telling a testifying military man to stop addressing her as "Ma'am" and to instead call her "Senator" because she worked hard for that...

You would definitely think so after you watch this..Gotta love the "Aqua Buddha"! Is that the new flying spaghetti monster? Ha! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6BCa8xw9yGY Go Tea Party candidates! ""Paul is almost the perfect tea party flag bearer. The first-time candidate and...

Pretty sad that they are reducing themselves to personal attacks. ""A recent study by the Wesleyan Media Project actually quantifies this. They looked at 900,000 airing of political ads this year and concluded: "Democrats are using personal attacks at much higher rates than Republicans and a...

(Maybe in the politics section? Point is, I called out this ad and my friend says my logic doesn't hold water.) http://politifact.com/truth-o-meter/statements/2010/oct/08/sharron-angle/sharron-angle-attacks-harry-reid-over-giving-sex-o/ Sharron Angle is running an ad claiming that Harry Reid...

Sharon Angle tells Latino students that these scary looking hombres from her campaign ads may not be Latinos: I guess they must be Canadians because she then suggests that the real threat is the Canadian border, and that "we cannot allow anyone to come across our border if we don’t know why...

This thread is dedicated to discussing the sleaziest, most dishonest, and most unfair campaign ads of this election season. I'm especially interested in exploring the relative (dis)honesty of third party ads made possible by Citizens United, compared to ads by candidates and PACs, which have...

http://dailycaller.com/2010/09/25/democratic-house-members-highlight-their-vote-against-tarp-despite-not-being-in-congress-when-it-passed/ So now we have democrats running against TARP. We have them running against the health care bill (in fact, out of 279 democrats who voted for ObamaCare...
