Latest Rand Paul Ad
« Ky Dems Are Getting Desperate | Main | KY US Senate Poll - Blue Edition »
After some early skirmishes between Paul and Grayson, it seems that the campaigns are starting to get back to the basics of campaigning. The first step is introducing yourself to the electorate. The latest advertisement by Rand Paul is a solid attempt at it.
As a student of politics I love the imagery of this ad. Morning in Kentucky harkens back to Ronald Reagan's Morning in America campaign. The only question is will the average person connect it back to the Morning in America theme? This leads to my biggest problem with the ad. I think the imagery and feeling it generates is strong, but the overall message is weak. It tells us very little about Rand Paul and why we should vote for him. For that reason, I think they missed on an opportunity at creating a truly great ad.
