I understand that they were trying to be humorous, but it just didn’t work.
the consultant is the same company that did Hickenlooper’s commercials. I think they are out of Minnesota
of course I’m also 23 and a Polis supporter, so…
I can see kinda how one might find it offensive…but it’s hard to see JP winning if he plays it safe.
I do question the wisdom of running an ad this early. He is basically screaming “HEY I’M GOING TO BURN THROUGH MY RAISED CASH THIS SPRING AND THEN BURY YOU UNDER SELF FUNDED ADS SO LATE YOU CAN’T USE THE MILLIONAIR EXCEPTION TO RAISE MORE MONEY”
If I were the campaigns I would be even more aggressive on pushing the campaign on what he is in kinding to the campaign and what he is not reporting as a campaign expense (i.e. I’ll have the lawyers figure out what is a campaign expense or not) to force a quicker triggering of the millionair ammendment.
Though, it may be pretty good strategery. I don’t know that “average voters” (as if anyone has figured out what the hell an “average voter” is) would care all that much. JFG and WS would need some pretty educated voters to care about Polis’ strategy regarding the millionaires amendment.
(Somewhat) Interesting side note: I was talking about this race w/ some people earlier today and one of them brought up essentially the same thought you have here about Polis blowing through cash. I said I thought it was a good idea and if I was running the campaign, I would basically do the same thing to limit JFG and WS’s response time at the end of the campaign b/c voters are too dumb to care and/or notice. One of them gleefully responded, “Dude, you could totally be the Dem version of Karl Rove! You think voters are retards and you don’t mind dirty campaigning!” Let’s just say I needed a cold shower when I got home… 😛
