The Steve Benjamin campaign is touting his first TV ad, above.
And it’s fine and all that, but not nearly as awesome as his first blog ad, at right. It impresses me far more that he knows enough to advertise in THE hottest medium of all.
I mean, TV is so 20th century, don’t you think?
That, to me, is an impressive ad. Not particularly fact filled, but then ads aren’t. But it is positive and non polarizing. I think that speaks volumes for Mr. Benjamin’s character.
Governor Hodges!
Good job!
GREAT ad
I was just looking at an Adam Beam post from several days ago in which he discussed Shandon as the essential battleground in this race, where Benjamin and Finlay will duke it out for Morrison voters.
And that reminded me — when I was making my sales pitch to the Benjamin people for the ad at right, I suggested that maybe this was a particularly good venue for reaching undecided Morrison voters. It’s not so much that I was making a geographic claim as I was saying I suspect a lot of my readers are in the Shandon and university areas, and that their heads tended to be in sort of a Morrison kind of place.
I was careful to say I SUSPECT, because I don’t know (all I KNOW is that I got 104,000 page views in March; I don’t know where they are or what they’re thinking, beyond the anecdotal).
But what do y’all think? Do you not think that, if one were looking for an advertising medium to reach Morrison voters, this would be about as good a medium as any? Or was I just blowing smoke?
Y’all probably know as well as I do…
Nice video.
The BW-blog readers I know personally live in District 3, for the most part, and some in District 4. All are upper middle class liberal-ish. Some voted for Morrison. Many voted for Benjamin.
