Is that the "It's morning in America" voiceover guy on the new Kerry ads?

Much older of course, but he would be, wouldn't he? Anyway, a near-exact sound-alike.

1. The Ernest and Julio Gallo guy that they make fun of on PHC?

I hope not.

2. Dunno. After the Reagan gig, I next remember him doing Country Time

lemonade spots, which I then couldn't drink for years.

3. i would doubt it. hal riney, who voiced the morning in america spots,

was one of the writers of those spots. (he was a copywriter and agency owner who also did voice work.)

he's now for the most part retired. but he's also an arch republican, philosophically. since he wouldn't be doing the kerry voiceover as a for-hire thing, unless he's totally changed his spots i doubt that it's him.

i could be wrong as hell, though, since i haven't heard the kerry spots.
