I started a Draft Claire for Governor in which we had over 75 team captains statewide in 2003. She instead became a US Senator two years later. Claire McCaskill was a prosecutor in Kansas City, a single mom while serving as state representative for 3 terms and then a State Auditor. Her knowledge of local, state, and Federal levels of governments and how they work is extremely important. There has likely never been a vice presidential candidate which such a record of service.

She has become known as a center of the road legislator fighting for anti ear mark legislation and an accountability office for expenditures on the war. What she is most noticed for is that she has a pulse of the people that comes naturally and speaks out for the people when something is not in their best interest concerning government or important issues. Yes two inspiring candidates who bring out the best in people on the ticket sound real good.

I have more of a question regarding campaign ads. And a bit of a flaky quesiton at that.

Are there only a handful of announcers that do political ads?
It seems like the voices on these ads (radio and TV) are the same every election.
Do certain announcers only do Democrat and/or Republican ads?

My well thought out predictions:

Donnelly in AG.

Hubbard in 5.

Trout in 15.

Carter in 61.

Gardner with the upset in 65.

Pace in 70.

Calloway in 71.

Chappelle Nadal in 72.

Krank in 80 (I think it’s 80).

Steven, I think Claire ruined her chances for VP by voting to give immunity to telecom companies that illegally spied on U.S. citizens. If Obama really wants to go with the “change” meme, he’d better not pick someone who was even worse on FISA than he was, unless he wants to completely alienate his activist base.

“a question regarding campaign ads”

Yeah, you probably have heard the same person voicing different ads. Here’s a series of reasons that help explain that:

The firms that make candidate campaign commercials usually work for one political party or the other. Most firms produce all their ads at the same studio, regardless of where the race is. Each firm has it own favorite voice-over talent — dependability being a key factor. After the first round of ads, the pace of a campaign speeds up making dependability very, very important. Most political ads take a day or a few hours to produce, unlike commercial ads which can take much longer to complete as they pass through focus groups and different lines of approval. Firms often end up with their work clustered in the same several states again and again each cycle.

Adding all those things together, you have probably heard the same voice on ads produced for different campaigns of the same party in the same state by the same firm.

Thanks Public Eye. I was starting to think that everyone was starting to sound the same. But, firms that specialize in political advertising makes sense.

I saw a line of Segways crossing the street in front of the History Museum this morning and wondered about the status of Alderman Krewson’s Segway law. Anyone know?

That was some pretty funny writing Adam. How does it feel under the Obamessiah bus? The nut roots “activists” are just the latest bunch Obamessiah has thrown under the bus. Get over it. Do what all good democrats do, shut your mouth and vote for the (d). You know damn good and well if he actually ran as a someone who agreed with the nutroots he would be dead in the election. His only chance is to play himself off as “moderately centrist”. But hey, if it makes you feel better, I agree with you, he should choose someone as loony as Dennis K for a running mate.

War with Iran

this is not a Country with satellite dishes on top of caves. There is a very selective Westernization among the youth, and in less time than the 10 years that Nu-cu-lar war will take, these ‘kids’ will be part of the system.

so…if you want war… be prepared for Peace.

I met a pulmonologist a few weeks back who had written an article decrying the money wasted on smoking bans that could have been used to investigate the real causes of lung cancer in nonsmokers, particularly given the unexplained surge in lung cancer cases among neversmoking women. I was happy to hear Rush read nearly the whole article aloud on his show this week. I hope the article causes some St. Louis people to reconsider donations to the American Cancer Society.
