Fantastic Dem campaign ad: "Have you no decency?"

[Oilwellian]

THIS is how I want to see Democrats campaign...what a fantastic ad! I don't know how they did it but it's VERY clever!

6. That ad needs to be run for every single Democratic candidate running.

Period. Could easily be changed to be apt for each race and it would be so memorable that it would be remembered as well as the daisy/atomic blast, or the Willy Horton ads.

8. Every Democratic campaign should have this at its core

Lying, defamation and character assassination are core GOP tactics, and they are not OK.

9. The long version is awesome. The short version is merely great.

10. David Strathairn is in Chapel Hill tonight

Nice ad. Strathairn is involved in a concert reading of Studs Terkel's "Will the Circle Be Unbroken" at Memorial Hall in dear old Chapel Hill, NC tonight:

My wife's there as I speak, and I need to put the kiddo to bed.

Kick for the truth!

12. How they did it? They stuck a guy in front of a camera!

And the guy did not talk like most Democratic candidates, or like most people in these forums. He spoke plainly, directly, to the point and without compromise. I suppose, given the kind of crappy political ads I've seen from Democrats so far, straight talk might be considered a "special effect."

13. OMG! That was brilliant! Great ad!
