The older I get the more of a sucker I am for good political advertising. The ad below is a perfect example.
It has no scary voice-over announcer. It has no concerned conversation over breakfast at a kitchen table. It has no charts or graphs. It mentions no statistics and makes no reference to any news articles. And yet, it is still amazingly powerful and surprisingly engaging.
I first saw this ad on a muted TV at the gym while riding up a very large imaginary hill on a very stationary bicycle and listening to very loud music on my mp3 player. And it was still very moving and poignant…
