Maine man's ads have changed course of campaigns (anti-Dem ads)

Greg Stevens has built a national reputation behind provocative ads that can change a presidential race.

Stevens, a Yarmouth resident whose advertising firm produced the John Kerry-bashing ads by Swift Boat Veterans for Truth, also stirred up voters the first time a candidate named George Bush ran against a Massachusetts Democrat.

Stevens, president and founder of Stevens Reed Curcio & Potholm of Virginia, produced the memorable 1988 ad showing former Massachusetts Gov. Michael Dukakis wearing an ungainly helmet while bouncing along in a tank. His Republican opponent, then-Vice President George H.W. Bush, won easily.

This year, Stevens' firm created a half-dozen ads for the Swift Boat Veterans, the advocacy group questioning the military credentials of Kerry, the decorated Vietnam veteran and Democratic senator from Massachusetts who is challenging the second President Bush.

Interesting...same company did the Dukakis tank ads and Swiftboats. They have no shame.
