Yanni For Senate



Wow. Really, this ad is worthy of a dissertation. But I'll begin with two minor questions:

1) Who was the genius strategist who though a "setting sun" might be a good visual metaphor for Lieberman's last days in the Senate? Morning in America? More like Twilight in Connecticut.

2) How many voters in Connecticut - of any party - are feeling "soothed" by the state of the nation right now? Even if this ad was done well (which it obviously wasn't), would the message resonate with... anyone?

Update: A couple more points:

3) Last time I checked, the sun set in the west. And Long Island Sound was to the southeast of Connecticut. Wherever this sunset was filmed, it wasn't in Connecticut.

4) How sensitive of Joe to release an ad asking voters to think of "good stuff" on the one-year anniversary of Katrina. I'm personally not thinking about any "good stuff" today. I'm feeling quite furious about what happened a year ago today, and a year ago tomorrow, and a year ago next week.
Comments:
Maybe this is Lieberman's version of Katrina. A year later...

Stay the course, keep paddling.
 
>What's with the late-nite phone sex commerical voiceover anyway? "Call 900-GIRLZ-LUV-JOE for more hot, sensual legislation..."<

Hilarious!

I couldn't believe my eyes when I caught this ad this morning. I guess the smart people are all working on the Lamont campaign as Lieberman already dumped his first campaign crew and this ad is an exmaple of what the replacement staff thinks is good?

Yet another poor choice by Lieberman.
 
The clip was filmed in Santa Barbara.
