Everyone's talking about this, this morning. My initial reaction was that it's the cast from a Tee Vee show most popular among political liberals that aired a decade ago, and that it's not likely to be effective outside that narrow group. Then, I gave it a bit more thought and realized that the race for state Supreme Court has become a matter not of convincing everyone to vote for you, but to get your people to vote for you. It's four minutes, which makes it a bit long for Tee Vee, but it's gone viral this morning, which is probably these days even better.
By the way, the message for voters to flip the ballot and vote in the non-partisan races was key four years ago when Diane Hathaway got Cliff Taylor fired. Now, it's getting spread ... right about the time that absentee ballots are being distributed. Is it just me, or are we quickly coming to a point where it's illegal for campaigns to distribute campaign materials in traditional balloting areas, but where it's commonplace for them to do it in the form of electronic media to people voting in their living rooms?
