Campaign Ads

By: Mr. Wilson on April 11, 2006
Two notes about advertisements in the Nebraska governor's race:
  • Tom Osborne has a new radio ad campaign going right now. One of the ads asks, "How often have you had the chance to vote for someone you felt like you really knew, someone you watched for more than 30 years?" I told myself early on that if Osborne pandered to Husker fans with shameless "vote for me because I was a good coach" pleas he'd get knocked down a few notches in my book. Consider him knocked down.
  • I heard a Dave Heineman ad on Z-92 this morning. It was the (or a) "Good for Dave Heineman" ad. Whoever is responsible for that thing should be kicked in the shins. Does the Heineman campaign really expect anybody to take that ad seriously? I've heard parodies that weren't that tacky.
In other news, I caught just a couple minutes of David Kramer on Z-92. He probably made some friends (or at least soothed some enemies) with his appearance. The guy sounded pretty good on the radio. Very senatorial.

well if my little strech of 70th St. between Adams and Vine is any indication of how the governor’s race will go it is going to be the ole coach by a land slide.

11 signs for Osborne, 1 for Heine. 

And 3 for a legislator Amanda McGill (no not the 10/11 reporter…I don’t think.)

I know Osborne is “suppose” to win in a landslide, but the commercial I saw tonight during the news rubbed me the wrong way. I don’t remember the quote in it’s entirity, just the part that pissed me off. “during the next four OR EIGHT YEARS…”

So Mr. Osborne, you’ve already won this election? I dislike cocky people.

The ads make me switch the radio as fast as I can. All of them are just aweful.

On the upside, I’ve been bringing more tapes to play in my car.
