Cartoon: Master Debater

Vernon Robinson’s recent un-aired campaign ad went heavy on the sex. The theme continued into his first debate with Miller. It’s said that “sex sells”, but will it sell him as a candidate?

Nice one! Although you are the third person I’ve seen refer to Robinson’s sex ad as “unaired”. I heard his ad on the radio the week that it started getting all of the hub-bub coverage, so I’m not sure where the “unaired” information is coming from. It was out there, even if it was only for a short time.

The ad aired, if in very limited release.

Thanks guys. I had thought that the airplay that it did get was just on the internet, and from talk radio and tv broadcasting segments of it to discuss the ad – I hadn’t realized that it was “officially” aired anywhere. I’ve edited the post accordingly.

The ad looks really similar to this one:

Which, apparently means there’s another Congressman as obsessed with naughty bits as Brad Miller.
And VR didn’t pulled a “bozo no no” by not asking for permission to run the “Final Salute” photo:

Hi Britt – thanks for stopping by. That’s funny – the ads are pretty much identical, except for the photo that it sounds like Robinson stole.
