The Video Campaign Begins...
Here is what appears to be the first video commercial of the campaign for U.S. Senate. What is your impression? Is it fair? Is it effective? Do you find it humorous? Offensive?

"Amateurish" is the word I would use.

I for one absolutely dread the coming campaign season with those stupid automated telephone calls and "lowest common denominator" targeted political TV ads. This ad is a good example of what I am talking about. Public debates on hard issues, on the other hand, are useful.

On the surface,the preceding comment would seem to be a valid concern. But historically most voters seem not to really care. In fact, there is a fair amount of evidence to the contrary that home-state voters are proud that their guy, the "favorite son", is running for President and can do the home-state more good once in the White House than they could ever do as a mere U.S. Senator, Congressman or whatever.
This helps to explain why it is so rare that incumbent office holders resign their current offices to run for President. Politically, there is little pressure to do so.

I agree, not every state can boast a favorite son who might be dumb enough to be President one day, but I think we have a contender! Go George Go!
