I mentioned this terrible, terrible ad from the Cassidy campaign in the past:
Well, Politico called this ad one of the year's TOP 10 Worst ads of the election cycle. While I agree, I think they could at least know what the hell they're talking about when it comes to why the ad was run:
The ad begins with Cassidy's wife pull-starting a generator - for no obvious reason - and yelling, "Okay, Bill!" Cassidy then begins an anti-earmark, drill-now spiel in the rain, under an umbrella, again with no explanation. Maybe it had something to do with Katrina. The ad - the candidate's first - has been taken down from the campaign's YouTube page. But we dug it back up.
Wow. Maybe it had something to do with Katrina? Are the people who wrote the piece at Politico that dumb? Do y'all recall a little hurricane called Gustav? If you don't, I suggest you take a look at this this post, and this one.
