1. I first saw that ad last night. My wife commented,
"Why is that guy so bowlegged."

Afterwards, I asked her what she remembered from the ad. She said, "I didn't hear a word. I kept looking at that strange guy and wondering what was wrong with his legs."

Score!

3. Speaking of photoshop
Does anyone else think that they photoshopped Clark's picture in the ad? I looked for the original but can't find it. It looks like they modified the pic.

6. I'll be interested to see if Klobuchar's staff is any more receptive
to the public at the State Fair this year.

Last year if you approached her booth all they'd do is hand you a card to write your name & contact information on along with whatever your question or comment was and you could put that in box they had for it. They refused to engage with people at all. I asked them if they waited until they were off the fair grounds to throw the cards away. I never got an answer.

We will have to hammer them this year about the Catfood Commission.

12. Actually, I posted that not because of the action alert, but because of the photo.
This was mailed out in 2008. Note how his face is distorted- clearly a photoshop job.

7. Ugh, I finally saw that ad last night.
"Taxin' Tarryl"? Good grief, that has to be one of the lamest campaign ads ever.

8. I expect the topics to pick up as time goes on
They are going for the obvious low hanging fruit with the tax angle. It reaches out to people who want their taxes as close to zero as possible, similar to Michele's rants over the past four years (she never really cared for the topic as a state senator).

13. Conspiracy theory time
He's been kicked in the crouch too many times by Mr. Bachmann, to make sure he does what he's supposed to for the media campaign.

Everything about Michele & her family is creepy to me. Maybe he's a patchwork Frankenstein monster.
