What keeps the region so loyally Democratic are the boomers who still pine for RFK and have memorized Mario Savio's speeches and listen to Judy Collins and Joan Baez in their Priuses.Seth Maskethttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17178036016555722068noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3412583847145043520.post-75372031099403278012008-05-23T10:38:00.000-06:002008-05-23T10:38:00.000-06:00LOL!What does Lidzville mean? that boomers are wh...LOL!<BR/><BR/>What does Lidzville mean? that boomers are what's keeping northern cali from flipping republican?AnnMhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08504450005600933157noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3412583847145043520.post-54289195952184060762008-05-20T21:13:00.000-06:002008-05-20T21:13:00.000-06:00I don't know who made this ad, but most campaign a...I don't know who made this ad, but most campaign ads are made on a very small budget without a ton of research backing them. I could see the session going something like this:<BR/><BR/>Director: Okay, this is an ad about San Francisco values. So everyone act like it's San Francisco!<BR/>Actor: You mean, like, gay? Should I make out with a guy?<BR/>Director: Perfect! No, wait, we can't do that -- it would scare our voters. Just do the other stuff they do in San Francisco.<BR/>Actor: I've never been there. What do they do? Eat Rice a Roni?<BR/>Director: You know, they act all, <I>strange</I>, but without all the gay stuff.<BR/>Actor: What do you mean, strange?<BR/>Director: Um, like a black guy with a cowboy hat! And a white girl with a new wave hairdo! That's strange!<BR/>Actor: Okay. Do they also dance real weird, like this?<BR/>Director: Yeah, try that.Seth Maskethttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17178036016555722068noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3412583847145043520.post-88495174834295607802008-05-20T20:40:00.000-06:002008-05-20T20:40:00.000-06:00I could be your only Republican reader...;-)Looks ...I could be your only Republican reader...<BR/>;-)<BR/>Looks more like a San Francisco promotion of polygamous marriage than same-sex marriage? <BR/>Interesting, too, that they chose a black male actor to be the cowboy and not a white male.<BR/><BR/>Oh, the subtleties of advertising. Or Not.<BR/><BR/>Is there a way to measure effectiveness of a particular campaign ad or does it fall under the category of "do campaigns matter anyway?" subset? I'd be curious if anyone really bought into this ad and made voting decisions based on it or if it really had any sway with voters at all. Wouldn't even Middle America find that ad a little bizarre...?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3412583847145043520.post-80590950557302544742008-05-20T11:29:00.000-06:002008-05-20T11:29:00.000-06:00This stuff drives me batshit, but it also reminds ...This stuff drives me batshit, but it also reminds me how the GOP´s own stupidity will keep them from flipping most of northern california their way any time soon.
