It's the most wonderful time of the year. A chill in the air, pumpkins on door steps and political ads rule the airwaves. As the first Tuesday in November quickly approaches, claws come out in the form of attack ads as candidates scramble to make last minute impressions upon voters. Grab some popcorn, this is getting interesting.
In Kentucky, recent attack ads against Rep. Senate candidate Rand Paul from Dem. candidate Jack Conway claim Paul was a member of a secret society in college who falsely imprisoned an annoumous source and forced her to bow to 'aqua buddha.' Conway is positioned in the ad as a 'pro-life Christian' who questions Paul's religious beliefs and background. Paul argued in a debate at the University of Kentucky Friday, the nation has far greater problems than his religious beliefs and asks for returned focus to the issues. Paul's attack ads feature an Obama impersonator voice-over proclaiming Conway is one whom he can count on for more spending, higher debt, bigger government and higher taxes. Conway is positioned as an Obama insider, one who even has a photo pop up on the president's Blackberry for incoming calls.
I wouldn't call these 'best of' by any means, but boy are they entertaining. Happy voting Kentucky!
