You are absolutely correct in your analysis of the ad and I might add that it's possible to critique ads while rooting for Christine passionately!

She DOES look young.....although it's more a lack of "gravitas" in the rather stark shots of just her head and shoulders.

My immediate reaction to the first commercial was this surrealistic feeling that here is this cute Sally Fields type saying, "You love me, you really, really love me."

She just didn't LOOK like a potential senator given the complete lack of supporting senatorial "clues" in the shot.

I hope this will change....things like eyeglasses DO help......sitting at a desk with pen in hand and flanked by a couple of American flags DOES help......a small American flag pin on a business suit lapel......

I like the simplicity of her ads....but a few strategic touches to give her more senatorial "seriousness" and "stature" should now be added, in my humblest of opinions.

Thank you.

I was worried about being harsh. But I WANT HER TO WIN!

I hope she wears her glasses during any debates, and like you, I don’t want her to go along with the Sally Field thing. And that is a perfect characterization, btw.

She has to appear older, prepared on the issues (which she is), and as serious as a heart attack.
