    Also, I'm anticipating the New York Times' objection to the ad because it said "targeted" at least 5 times.

    Actually the use of 'target' threw me. At first I thought, having introduced the main guy, the 'target' was the opposition. It was only after a little while I realized she was supposed to be one of the 'good guys' too.

      Interesting that no party affiliation was mentioned. That usually means they are worried about net-negative brand equity of the party label.

        They're politicians. They and their people can't storyboard worth a damn. Gotta give them a lot of flexibility.

        Please love yourself.

            I can make up for it by telling you that it isn't verbed, jackass, it's anthimeria.

                  Their policy is awesomeness.

                  And explosions and shit.

                  And Texas.

                  I was only joking

                    Average people are such wooden actors.

                    Education is extremely important.

                      It's just total lack of practice. It's why average people can't write, paint, or sing worth a damn, either. Put in the time and you're fine.

                      What's funny though is that they're politicians; you'd think they'd be a lot better at it. Clearly they grasp the concept of pretending to be somebody else.

                        Clearly there's a difference between acting and lying.
