The Ad That Should Get Run Immediately
Is one that simply has the video of Bush trying, in vain, to define the word "sovereignty," caught in a superb Dan Quayle moment.

Then just use the simple scroll: WE CAN DO FAR BETTER THAN THIS. CAN'T WE?

And run it non stop in the midwest.

The media ignored this incredible display of stupidity, and this will resurrect it.

Bush needs to be MOCKED. He needs to be reduced to a JOKE. And the way to do that is to exploit what many swing voters suspect about him: that he is an utter fool.

Make the label stick. Bush is a dangerous fool.

That's what wins campaigns.

1. I'm in the minority that thinks Junior actually knows what it means
but realizing he attacked a sovereign state last year (despite a pledge a week earlier not to) he thought he had to fudge a little

2. Mocking the wrong thing.
Bush's claim to have done a good job on terrorism should be mocked. It's laughable. But Bush is hard to mock personally and have it do anything but backfire.

Bush actually wants to distract people from the issues by making things personal. So I have to disagree with you. Bush's record invites mockery even more than his personal foibles. And his record is fair game.

3. It would probably backfire

It's become apparent that most voters are uncomfortable with candidates who are demonstrably smarter than they are. And I'd bet most people don't know from no stinkin' sovrinty neither.

4. My favorite is the ad called 'Seriously'
with the mother in the park, watching her kid play.
She asks rhetorical questions about *. Finally answers them by saying, 'No it's just because he's so god Bleep bleep bleeping Stupid. Seriously. "
It's been flying around the internet and if you haven't seen it it, private message me with your address and I'll send it to you.
It should be getting a lot of play.
Mainly because it makes people laugh and think at the same time.
