Lord, someone fire the ad agency!

Very poor quality, making him look like this is all a joke.

I just saw Whitehouse’s new ad, from RI race. Now this is a winning ad campaign: http://www.whitehouseforsenate.com/?page_id=185

Just my 2 cents.

No doubt true (on the Dems not being an effective opposition), but look at the unattributed polling results (could be from last week or 5 years ago).

If he got Lieberman to promise not to run as an independent in exchange for an endorsement, then that pledge (not to run as an independent) is worth a lot more than Reid’s endorsement costs. If Lamont can win the primary, and Lieberman accepts the defeat, then chances are excellent that we’ll see Senator Lamont.</p> Maybe it’s not such a dirty deal Harry Reid made (if it’s true).
