The" Echo" ad from Jerry Brown is the best political ad ever.

[Stuart G]

This ad does not trash anyone. It does not use fear or langage to hurt. It is moderate and honest.
It allows the candidate to speak for herself, in her real words that cannot be misunderstood.
It shows that this candidate is using the talking style and words of a previous office holder. Exact words.
The ad allows the viewers to decide for themselves if this is good or bad. Or if the previous office holder is good or bad.

Because of its simplicity and honesty, many will remember this ad above all the others.
The arrogance of the current candidate is that she believes that no one would notice or even care about the above.
I believe she completely wrong.
If you have not seen it, it is available here in the video forum.
You decide.

7. The best ad of the season so far. n/t

8. Yes it is brilliant, but when I saw it today it was completely surrounded by nebulous anti-whoever

anonymous scaremongering ads. At least 6 to 1 per commercial break. Even the rabid rightwingers I was with (their cable) were sick of all the ads.

I think this whole CU thing is going to backfire, especially if they ramp it up before the election. Some Dem ads should be pointing out the absolute swamping of the CU ads. Why it's happening and exactly where it's coming from, because it is pissing people off.

13. CU thing? n/t

15. Absolutely. nt

9. AGREED! I saw that the other night and thought "wow!"

I usually skip right through commercials but this one caught my attention and it was powerful!

10. I recall the mean ad about Willie Horton, and the

one about Dukakis on the tank. And they were very very effective.

This one, allows Meg, through her own talking points, show herself for what she is.
..a rich copy cat. It is just as effective, maybe more so. Cause the truth is decided by the viewer.
Sure, the ad maker put it together, but the viwer is glad someone did.
What can Meg say?..."I didn't say that"..or
.."I didn't use the same words as Arnold.."

Her talking points are no mistake as is the now famous.."I Am Not a Witch" ad.
This is a brilliant ad. And it is for our side.

[proud patriot]

11. I Completely agree

It's an awesome ad

[ProgressiveEconomist]

12. Agreed--greatest ad ever! It must have taken hundreds of hours of screening news

archive tapes, by a few people with great personal memory for what Ahnold amd Meg W have said.

14. Another kick n/t
