Regarding the BC04 Wolves Commercial
Just showed it to a relative who already early voted for Kerry. She thought it was by far the most powerful ad she's seen so far this campaign season. I would have to agree. Only other ad that even came close was one with the mother of the dead U.S. soldier (MoveOn I think).

Fear might be all they've got left, but fear is pretty damn effective. Just ask Goebbels.

So why is the Kerry camp always playing catch-up on ads? Does KE04 have an equally effective ad planned for the next 11 days? :shrug:

1. The Kristen Breitweiser ad
It's not even a 527 ad. It should be run 24/7, interspersed with other ads.

7. Yeah but

the Wolves as is aimed at the middle-aged woman set. And apparently it was very successful in focus groups. Fear works very very well.

Let's hope Josh Marshall's ad gets some play and the Kerry media guys awake from their slumber before Nov 2.

12. It's amazing how people can get fooled by a TV ad.
They see one ad with some wolves running around and a scary voice telling you Kerry is going to get us killed, and people go and vote for Bush. Talk about gullible. I guess there's alot of gullible people out there.

The perfect ad for Kerry/Edwards is to have a black screen with the words "While the World Trade Center towers were on fire, Bush sat in a classroom reading The Pet Goat." Then show Bush sitting in the clasroom reading The Pet Goat, looking scared and not knowing what to do, for the whole 5 or 7 minutes. (Of course it will be expensive)
