BACHMANN LAUNCHES FIRST POLITICAL AD

By Luke Hellier | August 24, 2010

See it here first:

The campaign will also be releasing a fact sheet behind the commercial and a statement later today on MicheleBachmann.com

UPDATE: The ad has already received around a 1000 views since this morning.  It seems people are attracted to creative aspect of “Jim the Election Guy.”  I am looking forward to seeing the next ad in the series.

    That’s what I like. Michelle took the offense. Hopefully other Republicans can learn from her.
    You think with her millions she or Democrat support groups would’ve been on the year since this is a so called priority race for them.

    Michele Bachmann is on the defensive because she has noting in nher Congressional record to run on other than her idiotic comments and lackluster voting record.

    What has Michele Bachmann done personally and what issues has she championed that has impacted the lives of the residents of the 6th Congressional District for the better? Where has she been for Veterans, those facing joblessness, foreclosure, have no health care, can’t pay for college, lost money on Wall Street that was for retirement, etc??

    These are the questions Tarryl Clark has been asking residents of the 6th CD for the last 18 months. Going door to door and getting input.

    “those facing joblessness, foreclosure, have no health care, can’t pay for college, lost money on Wall Street that was for retirement, etc??”

    Those are all personal issues. Democrats want to nationalize risk, forcing taxpayers to foot the bill for every bump that goes in the night.

    Bachmann’s steadfast opposition to such nonesense by DFLers is accomplishment enough.

    Michele is obviously very comfortable with her enormous advantages and is going to take the opportunity to toy with Taxin’ Terryl a bit before squashing her like a bug.

    This year, we get a two’fer.

    Send Michele back to thrash whatever Democrats are left in Congress next year, *and* bid adieu to one of the most prolific tax and spenders the Democrat party had in the legislature here at home.

    Enormous advantage??

    Surely Michele Bachmann’s ego is enormous as fed by the amount of National exposure she gets. What little it does for the people of the 6th CD who are at the losing end of her enormous ego.

    Even my sister in California asks me about the “crazy Cngresswoman from Minnesota.”

    Michele is someone who thinks alliteration is an argument.

    Lady K just when did you think you became a Congresswoman. The only crazy Congress woman we have from Minnesota is Betty from the fourth. Michelle is a very rational woman since she realizes that you can’t spend $4 trillion you don’t have and if you make the decision to spend $4 trillion to get something out of it.

    So lady just curious how much more money that the government doesn’t have do you want the government to spend?

    I think we have seen the last of Jim, the Election Guy.

    I think Jim will come off better than Tarryl. We’re going to see lots of him and hopefully other versions of him throughout Minnesota and the nation.

    “to foot the bill for every bump that goes in the night.”

    Correction: “to foot the bill for everything that goes bump in the night.”

    “I think Jim will come off better than Tarryl. We’re going to see lots of him and hopefully other versions of him throughout Minnesota and the nation.”

    The problem is that Jim, The Election Guy, won’t come off better than Tarryl’s, Jim, The Actual Guy ads, if Michele tries to continue that campaign. The actual guy campaign highlights the stylized and highly artificial nature of Michele’s original campaign. It suggests that Michele, in using an ad with someone who is visibly an actor, and which isn’t at all specific to Minnesota, that Michele has gone Washington, a narrative Michele needs to avoid.

    Chalk one up for the Clark campaign.

    Hector went a long way around to get to nothing there…

    Let’s see if Michele tries a Jim, The Election Guy ad, again.
