Romanoff finally hits the airwaves

Former House Speaker Andrew Romanoff is finally joining Michael Bennet up on TV in the democratic primary. I don’t know how much money he has to spend on it, but the production value of the ad (which looks like it could have been done in the Wayne’s World basement) probably suggests it isn’t huge.

Here’s the ad (hope I got the embedding right!) :

Here’s a link if I didn’t…

Romanoff continues to make not taking PAC money (this time!) the theme of his campaign, and says it makes Washington corrupt.

One thing that stands out to me about this is that I don’t remember Romanoff as a big reformer / shake things up type when he was in the state legislature. In contrast, Bennet has really made himself a reformer, which I think probably undercuts Andrew’s message.

The biggest thing it seems to me is that it’s a fine ad but nothing about it really distinguishes him. He could be anyone railing against PAC money. That didn’t seem to get a lot of traction last time around, and I’m not sure it will this time.

Curious what people think though. Will this be effective? Poll below.
