Lazio On NY’s ‘Problems’

Seems like everyone is using the same ad agency.
Didn't the Dems put something out last week with a similar twist related to the Laz's take from JP Morgan-Chase?
With all that cash being spent on ads, you'd think there would be a little more originality.
But maybe this is more or less what to expect from the Laz- no ideas of his own.

Interesting that they say “Albany to Buffalo” and not “New York City to Buffalo.” Is Lazio hoping his upstate strategy will work?

Agreed.

Try as he may, he's still stuck in neutral — spinning his wheels.
This guy (and his peeps) just don't know how to get it in gear.

This is interesting to me on a couple of levels. The content of this ad strikes me as exceedingly weak for reasons touched on by others offering comment. It adds essentially NOTHING of use to Lazio's efforts, seems to me. Strong majorities in all polls believe the state's financial position, economy, and overall direction to be negative. People don't need to be persuaded that New York has problems, nor do they need cutesy chickenlittle avertisements to convince them in digestable data morsels that the sky is falling. But why would they think Lazio as governor would matter? This doesn't help make that case one iota, seems to me. But on a different plane: am I alone in being concerned about this practice of blogs being used to disseminate political web advertising? I think Liz is a great journalist, don't get me wrong. But where's the reporting in just posting the latest 'release' of an ad, furthering it's dissemination, without any analysis, insight, expert reaction or anything?
