Jerry Brown’s ads start out with “I’m not gonna give you some phony plan...”
Of course he won’t. If we really knew what his “plan” was, we’d never vote for him.
If I were Whitman (and I live in Cali and can’t stand the witch), I’d run that first phase of Jerry’s ad and finish with a panorama of the boarded up shops on 14th Street and voiceover “is it anything like his plan for Oakland?”
Great ad, I love it!
The ads that had the greatest impact AGAINST Brown when he ran for the Senate in 82 were the ones that mentioned his judicial appointees (by name) and the horrible decisions they handed down. I've never seen such a viscerally effective political spot, and Whitman should consider reprising it in some form.
