Republican Sen. John Cornyn, who finds himself stuck in a race within the margin of error with Democratic challenger Rick Noriega, put out an ad so comical, so utterly ridiculous, that it had to be spoofed (yes, the ad above was real). So the Noriega team took care of it for us, by actually pointing out "Big Bad John's" real record while showing Cornyn's own ad just for comic value.

3. look for Rick to be linked to Manuel Noriega
as Cornyn gets real desperate. This would be a huge upset, but Cornyn, honestly is a weak candidate. He's a nobody in the Senate.

4. I've been waiting for a good response to Cornyn's dumb ad
I also loved the pricing of his clothes. This is a great and memorable ad. Break it down!

9. What's even funnier about that video
The Cornyn version, I mean.

If you look at it carefully, you can tell the man is no rider. He doesn't even make it out of the pen. I have no doubt, they dressed him up and had to literally place him on the poor animal.

I love this spoof. What little extra money I have, I've been donating it to Rick. Cornyn is out come November and that will be a great day.

13. I don't live in Texas but will also donate to Rick
Cornyn has irritated me for too many years. He and Chambliss of Georgia both turn my breakfast sour.

:hi:

14. The thing is, Cornyn's ad really didn't even require a spoof!...
Honestly, it's hilarious on it's own.

PS---This is a great take on it: http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=view_all&address=385x148714

6. Off to The Greatest Page with Ye!
Terrific turning of the tables on Cornyn. I hope it gives some good ideas to campaigners for other Democratic candidates.

and want to do all I can to unseat him. Been driving around in my car with a Rick Noreiga placards since he first announced. I will post to let them know they can count on HFT support. I met his lovely wife but not him yet. With a little bit of Dem funding, this senate seat can be ours..... ARE YOU HEARING THAT DNC. You fucked up by not putting in a little extra in Lampson's campaign to unseat DeLay the last go round. He won in the special election anyway-thanks for your short sightedness. The AMA is against Cornyn and when the vets get wind of what he has done-they'll ditch that pudknocker too.

edited to add...I think the reason Cornyn get re-elected is that he reminds on of John Connelly-the former Governor.

17. Aw, that's great. Reminds me of Wellstone's ads
taking on his opponent, Rudy Boschwitz. Just that kind of kooky, ridiculing, effective message.

Humor really works.

19. Texas could elect a Dem Senator.
Polls show them almost tied (within the margin of error).
