The one group that’s going to do worse than Republicans this election is oil companies. All they’re going to do by fighting this (and losing) is piss people off more.
After this election is over, I think we’ll all be experts on political ads, and I must say these are two of the better issue ads I have seen and better than some candidate ads.
Think of how cheesy most political ads are and compare those to these. Who ever produced these did great work.
to nearly every other ad running. It doesn’t treat its audience like they’re morons.
Yes, they’re good ads to introduce the issue. I think they’re going to have to get a lot more visceral to sway the opinion they’ve softened up, though. Because opponents will have no problem treating the audience like morons and appealing to fears.
with RG on this. The ads are effective at this point and time. However, voter can expect to see the oil and gas cartel to funnel a huge amount of money into ads prior to the election. If memory serves, they spent $70 million fighting a severance tax increase in California a few years back and should put at least $10 million into this contest. It will be getting ugly soon and Ritter will be the main target.
What will be interesting is if Penry’s initiative floats or sinks with the voters as it will be a major referundum on his chances for the Gov/’s mansion in 2010.
