I just thought of the best anti-bush campaign commericial |
|
We round up a bunch of people who've became unemployed since Bush came into office.
They're filmed in front of their home saying something like "Hi I'm JohnDoe! I've been unemployeed since 8/8/02 when my company decided to send my job overseas"
And we do that with about a dozen different people. Regular folks just like us.
And at the very end the tagline would be:
Can we afford another four years??

1. It would backfire, I think. |
|
Since you really won't have enough time to go into the details of what each person has been doing to try to find work and yet so far been unsuccessful, they'll just be tagged as "losers" by most viewers.

6. By the time those ads would start rolling, |
|
so many people will have lost their jobs, to overseas or downsizing, etc., that the people in the ads wouldn't be thought of as losers, because then most people would have to think of THEMSELVES as losers!

3. Dems should take a page from Apple |
|
Remake their famous commercial: have a young woman throw a hammer into a viewscreen of Fox News coverage of a Shrub speech, then have the tagline "Vote Democratic so 2004 won't be like 1984".

Here's one I thought of back when I thought Gore was going to run again:
*Pachelbel's Canon in D plays softly*
"If you sold your soul in Election 2000, here's your chance to get it back: Vote (Democratic nominee) in 2004."

5. I doubt anyone would use that, |
|
but it certainly would kick ass.

7. The Reagan people did that |
|
but used actors for the "Are you better off?" campaign.
