I've only ever seen one political TV ad that was good purely in terms of artistic merit, and that was Ken Loach's low-key Party Political for the Socialist Alliance before the 2001 UK general elections. Basically it was just abunch of interviews with people, effectively cut with pictures of them going about work and their daily life, no slogans, no voice-overs, no PR people.

They've got a Spanish version of the ad? Was it dubbed, or does Bush really speak enough Spanish to appeal to the sizeable minority of voters?
That's beside the point though! I demand a French version!

This tax credit for US manufacturing jobs, to be effective, would be massive.

Ned, that post of Kerry's positions... did you not like them? Did you like them?
the old "don't change captains at this point" campaign
Well, that is the best campaign for most incumbants

I find the whole "this message was approved by me" line cheesy and obstrusive-ruins the flow.

Which has been the case for most of our lifetimes.

Maybe a new requirement? I've seen this from every political commerical so far.“I give you a new commandment, that you love one another. Just as I have loved you, you also should love one another. By this everyone will know that you are my disciples, if you have love for one another.”

Offensive? That might be too strong a word. Offensive would be "John Kerry is going to give more money and power to the darkies."Originally posted by The Mad Monk

(You can laugh, but this is essentially the line of debate that the Republican candidate for governor used here in Michigan in '02; it allowed him to close a 15-point gap to a 2-point loss on Election Day. Don't anyone ever tell me racism doesn't exist in this country.)

Kerry's ads in GA had that at the end of his commericals.“I give you a new commandment, that you love one another. Just as I have loved you, you also should love one another. By this everyone will know that you are my disciples, if you have love for one another.”

Bush's 9/11 ads aren't offensive, but they aren't appropriate, either. It's alright to discuss 9/11 and its consequences, but to showing images of the actual event and its aftermath is designed to capitalize on the anger that many Americans feel for what happened on that horrible day.
Even worse is the GOP's idea to have Bush give his acceptance speech at Ground Zero on live television. THAT crosses from 'inappropriate' to 'dispicable'.the good reverendComment

Well, the 9/11 ads managed to piss off a lot of people:
I think it's rather cynical of the Bush campaign, yes.Tutto nel mondo è burlaComment
