Guerrilla Political Ads


As I was reading this article, which has the purpose of highlighting President Peron's Obama's decisions that are excellent add material, it occurred to me that the Stupid Party will manage to blow the opportunity. It's what they do best, after all.

Maybe it has something to do with the party's full-time organization being highly centralized, bureaucratic, and isolated from people that live in paycheck-to-paycheck America.

If I had more time and skills, I'd run with that article's suggestions and cobble together some videos using one of the software packages available on most laptops anymore. Cobble together some footage from the last three years, put it on YouTube, and start shopping it to the party staff that have a serious drive to put some hurt on Obama. The adds would probably be more effective than anything the eventual candidate will come up with, as well as coming from people that would actually care, rather than some PR flack who's just in it for the money.

Yes, yes they will. Who would have thought with the big wins we made in the last mid-terms (not even two years ago) that this president would have any chance of getting reelected? The republicans do have a knack for stealing defeat from the mouth of victory, don’t they?
