My Suggestion for a TV Spot in the Alabama Senate Election:

It goes something like this:

"Doug Jones was the prosecutor who brought to justice the murderer of the 4 little girls who were brutally killed in the terrorist church bombing in Birmingham many years ago. That's how Doug Jones treats the memory of innocent, young girls. On the other hand, we have all heard the news of how Roy Moore treats innocent, young girls. On Tuesday, December 12, you will be the judge of what values Alabama really stands for."

"Please support the real Alabama values. Doug Jones for United States Senate."

1. I'd love statewide billboards:

Is Alabama REALLY going to elect a Pedophile? Really?!

2. A little over the top

In my suggested TV spot, I just allude to the "news". Everybody who's voting will get it. But the Doug Jones part, which describes his heroic efforts in prosecuting a former Klansman for the murder of those little girls 50 years ago draws that contrast. I purposely left out the "Klansman" part because I know that will play differently in Alabama than Massachusetts. I also purposely used "terrorist" bombing, because that's exactly what that was.

3. Maybe, but I think the word PEDOPHILE will shake some PARENTS out of their "faith-based excuses"

'Spent a lot of time in the deep South. It takes a lot to get past the entrenched dogma.

4. I have a simpler ad in mind

"Would you leave your 14-year-old daughter alone in a room with Roy Moore?"
