Rick Scott is back on the air with new ads, including this one. I really like it. Really like it.

If that

this stuff works
I met Rick and his mom at Herman Cain event
fpete13527 (Diary) Tuesday, September 21st at 12:28PM EDT (link)Speaking with them in person further clarified for me that Rick is the right person to empower Florida.
Additionally, Herman Cain, whom I have the highest respect for, personally endorsed Rick 100%.
I’m going to do all I can to support the Scott campaign.

IronDioPriest (Diary) Tuesday, September 21st at 12:30PM EDT (link)A guy’s mom saying good stuff about him is a good political ad? I’m sorry, I have to differ. Maybe in recent years gone by. But I think the electorate is hungry for much more than platitudes from candidates now. A mother’s love is hardly fresh, substantive, or groundbreaking. Al Capone’s mom loved him too, so what?
I’m sorry, I don’t mean to be jaded, but I am. Politics as usual reeks to me now. This ad probably won’t harm Scott, and that’s good if true. But is mush like this going to really convince any fence sitters, or solidify opinions of those inclined to vote for him? I fail to see how.

Agreed.
The Moat Tuesday, September 21st at 1:24PM EDT (link)You should have seen some of the crap I brought home form art class growing up. Nevertheless, my mom still hung it with pride on the fridge.
While “even his mom doesn’t like him!” might be the ultimate *negative* ad, 30 seconds of “endorsed by his own mother” is a non-event.
Where’s the substance?
Where’s the policy?
Where’s the record?
I thought we mocked the liberals for running on fluff like this.
Friends don’t let friends drink and post.
know your audience..
Remington_Steele (Diary) Tuesday, September 21st at 1:25PM EDT (link)How many retired older folk are his potential constituents? How many candidates took their own money and put their mother back to work? I don’t recall Capone’s mom on the payroll, just benefiting from it. Cynicism can go too far. I’d be very surprised if this ad doesn’t touch those that are the targeted audience.
You can call yourself
rdelbov Tuesday, September 21st at 12:41PM EDT (link)a constitutional conservartive-you can say you love God & Country-you can be right on all the positions–Yes do ads on your vision of America-your core political beliefs but there is a still a place for your personal story. Here’s what I got from Rick’s ad
1. Rick might be super wealthy now but he started out in a middle class or lower middle class family–no life of priviledge for him.
2. He joined the military-kudos to him. Yes Florida does have a huge number of active personal plus many retirees. Military service always scores points with me.
3. Rick did not community organize when he got out the military-like someone I know in DC. He went and bought a business -put people to work.
yes its Mother and God Bless Mothers but this ad tells us alot about Rick Scott.
I s'pose so.
IronDioPriest (Diary) Tuesday, September 21st at 12:47PM EDT (link)I just have all these politicians under such a cynical microscope. We’ve been betrayed by politicians in general so consistently and so egregiously, it hardly takes a breath to send my BS meter into overload.

I understand where
rdelbov Tuesday, September 21st at 1:22PM EDT (link)you are coming from and I see alot of ads. Not much on TV but I look at ads here and other politcal sites plus on the candidates web sites.
I see alot of ads from Southern candidates that mention God-church-family-military service. You can get cynical. Like Jerry Sowers-I think thats his name-running in MO8 against Emerson. He is a military guy-small town businessman-family guy-church guy. He wants to carry the banner of congressional reform to DC and of course vote for Nancy Pelosi for speaker while helping Obama implement his policy. Now his ads don’t say that but as a democrat that’s exactly what he stands for in 2010. He wants to help Nancy P. out.
I fully admit to being biased when I see GOP ads. No doubt about it.
That being said you have to finesse the Mother thing. The Billionaire Greene-not Alvin from SC-ran for US senate in Florida in 2010. He had his Mother in ads-talking about how she loved him and lived in Florida for 40 years. What a joke because his mom has a Condo in Palm Beach but her son lived for 40 years in California.
So if you use your Mother in an ad you need to do it. I think Scott hits the right buttons.
A political consultation told me at seminar 30 years ago that the number reason people vote someone is “they are just like me-they think like me and will vote like I would”. That “just like me” part is super important. Most people are not born wealthy (Rick was not )-many folks serve in the military or had family members who did(hey just like Rick) and of course Rick had a business career(I ain’t government beaucrat).
I understand fully those folks who want just the issues and how they will vote or how they will govern. So any attempt to personalize one’s life to get a vote is a diversion from where I stand. I get that but it can also work in a positive way
Good ad
mboyle1988 (Diary) Tuesday, September 21st at 3:02PM EDT (link)Not as good as Angle’s ads, not as good as the new O’Donnell ad by Jim DeMint, definitely not as good as the “gotcha” ad by Susana Martinez a few weeks ago or the gem about trainwreck Joe in WV, but a lot better than the crap Rossi has been putting out, for example, or the really incredibly dumb “Millionaire” ad Fiorina just released in Cali.
