Adventures of a Swing-State Voter - "Political Radio Ad for Romney to Air" edition
I mentioned Obama's radio ads, which try to capture the voice of the common American, but usually end up embarrassingly unhip.
Of course, they are written by the same type of people who came up with Subaru's "Like punk, except it's a car" campaign.
Well, Romney's camp isn't immune to this.
While both Obama and Romney have both used people with actual insightful experience- employees laid off after Bain Capitol bought their company, Obama voters, Massachusetts residents, and small business owners. Still, like the big corporations, both camps seem like they just need an actor who sounds like they know what they are doing.
So, Romney's ad goes something like this:
"I never vote a straight ticket. I like Democrats and Republicans. I voted for Obama. However, this election, I care about the economy, so I find myself voting for Mitt Romney."
It's a middle-aged woman, because there's nothing weird about women liking Mitt.
Okay, it's going to be hard to come up with an ad that is blatant pandering, but also capture that soulless aspect that shows the ad is completely made up.
Still, I did it for Obama, so in the interest of bipartisanship, here goes.
I am a busy mom, what with soccer practice, church, and a hungry family. I don't have time to keep up on the issues. Usually, I flip a coin in the voting booth to decide. I have friends on facebook who like Obama and Romney. I voted for Obama, voted for Clinton, and defintiely would have voted for JFK back in the day. However, this election is too important to leave to chance, and that guy with Touch of gray in his hair looks pretty awesome. I am wearing Mittens on Tuesday, so I can remember to vote for Mitt. I am not sure where I stand, but it's pretty safe to say any position I have on an issue, it's safe to say Mitt has held it at one point in his life.
Of course, my radio ad is abit too nuanced. Maybe I should leave it to the words spraypainted on the Obama banner hanging outside his campaign headquarters - "Muslim Lier (sic)"
