Ohio Dems' response -- 4 topless men, 1 woman in a bra
Background: Last week a GOP senatorial campaign group let loose a despicable ad against Ohio U.S. Senate candidate Lee Fisher, implying that he was "pleasuring himself" (ahem) while Ohio jobs disappeared. Well, the plot thickens, and I have to admit this ad by Ohio Dems is one of the best I've seen in awhile.

Story here:

<<The advertising tactics in the U.S. Senate race in Ohio took another strange turn on Monday, May 10 when the Ohio Democratic Party released an Internet ad urging workers to take off their shirts and send them to Republican candidate Rob Portman.

The ad features three paunchy, shirtless union men and one bra-wearing union woman talking about how Portman’s trade and economic policies during his time in the Bush administration caused blue collar workers to lose their shirts.>>

1. There's a problem with one of those links.
Popup said something about a loop and I couldn't turn it off. Looks like a stealth virus attack to me. Shut down modem, then iexplore process in task manager. Running SuperAntiSpyware right now.

That's my browser. Nothing meaningful from the scan so far. Still running....

Edit: Scan complete. Only one tracking cookie.

4. Yep.
It's a shame this is happening because the ad is really something to see. I don't know what can be flubbed up because the links work fine for me.

5. OK I just hit both links and did not get the prior result. Strange.
I'm gonna run all my auxiliary spyware programs, just for grins. In case you missed it, I edited my previous post to advise that SuperAntiSpyware found only one insignificant tracking cookie.
