ABC News-New Bush/Cheney 04 Ad To Feature Kerry Windsurfing to Blue Danube Waltz
The Note Politcal Memo ^ | 9/21/04 | Karen Traver

Posted on 09/22/2004 7:30:58 AM PDT by gopwinsin04

To get back on their game, the Bush/Cheney campaign is going to its bread at butter--humorously teasing John Kerry by mocking his personality and attacking his consistency--with a new ad, reports Karen Travers of ABC News.

The spot is called 'Windsurfing.'

The ad, which will join the Bush/Cheney 2004 ad rotation on national cable and local markets in battle ground states, looks at John Kerry's record on a varity of issues and concludes with this zinger: 'John Kerry, whichever way the wind blows.'

Its safe to assume television will be greeted with images of the Democratic nominee in spandex, a campaign offical said, and the ad will feature Strauss' 'Blue Danube Waltz' as background music.

Senator Kerry's late August windsurfing excursion has given the VP and Lynne Cheney a new favorite joke on the campaign trail.

The two banter like Nick and Jessica on their variety show, with the Vice President joking that Lynne thinks John Kerry should stick to windsurfing instead of policy.

If the NYTimes is saying the speech was a flop, then it must've been a win win for Bush. Hubby did not see/hear the whole speech, but from what he did see/hear, he was impressed. He even likened what Bush is doing to the UN to what Reagan did to the Soviet Union. The UN's days are numbered.

the ad is a good one -- and it reinforces to people that they do not want this strange-looking, ugly man in their living rooms for 4 years.

Brilliant. I'm sure Kerry windsurfing off Nantucket and his multi-million dollar mansion will really make Blacks feel like he's a brother..

Humor. Best way to get your point across. This is great!

Or in this case, humorous mockery.

Don't get me wrong, I thought it was a powerful speech that took no prisoners. Just get ready for the spin from the Left.

I wonder which polls are showing the "closing of gap" and what not.

I do not understand how the UN speach was a lead ballon. I thought it was great. Rush was right. Had it been Clinton or anyone else, it would have been an "incredible" speach.

I wonder what stratgery the Bush people have to push the lead back out. I guess I was hoping to see a Kerry implosion based on what he has been saying and acting (dont tell me the letterman performance was good, it was painful).

Best of all, though, we still have the debates coming up. Of course the interesting trick in there is that the debate commission does not want to sign documents saying they will stick to rules. Fascinating.

I guess this article describes what I'm sensing as a media induced trend.

I dont think the Dan Rather story is dead yet either.

We still have to clear up who is behind the files from the Kerry camp..

LOL, how about also a series of video clips of Kerry throwing baseballs and foot balls like a girl? Or playing soccer like a gorilla.
