I’ve heard the same thing as Don before, in regards to the Wellstone race (don’t know about Ventura). The ads were great, but apparently he was not the mastermind behind them, but got all the credit. It’s a moot point.

Hillsman is a joke, everyone knows he really had little to do with the Jesse ads he claims credit for. Since then his “work” has fallen flat, Ciresi would be wise to get him off his payroll.

It is any surprize that a consultant for Ciresi’s campaign would say such things? I think it speaks more to Ciresi’s campaign than to Franken’s campaign.

And let’s not forget Hillsman’s early works – snowmobile, anyone?

Franken’s “authenticity problem” is that he really is a nasty person. I’m certain that that isn’t the type of authenticity Minnesotans are looking for.
