CA: Hoping to broaden appeal, Angelides launches new ad campaign

Trailing in his bid to unseat Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger, Democratic challenger Phil Angelides will begin airing a biographical TV ad Tuesday in a late-hour bid to tell his story to voters who may know little or nothing about him.

The ad, to run in markets statewide, entwines family footage of the candidate with details skimmed from his resume as a Sacramento businessman-politician. Opening with chiming guitar chords from the Bellamy Brothers' "Let Your Love Flow," it alludes to his political awakening in the Nixon era and later features a shot of Angelides with U.S. Sens. Dianne Feinstein and Barbara Boxer.

He still doesn't get it. People know all they need to know about him and they don't like it.

Angelides is for more taxes, and more taxes, and more taxes, and socialized medicine and for bankrupting CA.

"Let your love flow" indeed ...ROTFL.

On that, we agree.

Oh, yes, and in addition to Kerry, both Bill and Hillary Clinton and John Edwards campaigned for him.

Angelides Bus Tour Kick-Off Rocks Los Angeles

http://www.californiachronicle.com/articles/viewArticle.asp?articleID=14600

Over 500 energized activists packed a West L.A. courtyard to hear an array of Democratic luminaries extol Democratic gubernatorial nominee Phil Angelides as he embarked upon a much anticipated state-wide bus tour yesterday.

With all the union supporters, all they could get is 500 people, in the hotbed of liberalism in LA, he is not only toast, but an overdone toast.

Looks like half of the 500 were journalists and photographers.

Someone in the CaDEM needs to sit down with this idiot and have a friendly chat. Regardless of what his campaign tries, it is always wrong.

From a historical perspective, it can't get much worse but ... Angelides has almost 30 more days to really screw it up.

He may well be the first state wide, Democrat candidate who recieved less Democrat votes than his opponent.

First image coming to my mind upon reading of Angelides' "Let your love flow" was "If It's Yellow, Let It Mellow; If It's Brown, Flush it Down". I dunno if his campaign people have fully thought all this thru..
