Campaign TV ads are out in full force as we near the finish line. Here’s a quick review:
The most moving one has got to be “The Diner” [1] by the Yes on 43 campaign. It captures an emotional moment from both sides – the mother and daughter- where the daughter is not telling the truth to her mom.
Another ad with impact is “Reasons” [2] by the Saxton Campaign. Here we have the campaign taking all of their hardest hits in quote forms and showing them with a impactual soundtrack. The ads are negative — but features mostly facts — an interesting angle on negative ads. Kulongoski’s ads can be found here [3].
Term Limits leads with common people at the kitchen table in their ads (view here [4]).
The Rainy Day Amendment ads go bright and sunshine with “Brighter days” [5] ads. The subliminal message being pass-the-rainy-day-measure-to-see-sunshine-so-taxpayers-will-stop-being-soaked.
We have (what I call) “He Really Loves the kids” [6] ad from the Mike Erickson for Congress. Who is againt love?
Those are the ads (at least those who made them available on the web).
What is your take?
