James Bond: Otter Ads Have Sharp Edge

James Bond: DFO; Have you seen Butch's latest commercial, where he talks about politicians getting haircuts, dinners on the state dime? It's a DIRECT attack on Dirky Kemthorne's gold-leafed, baroque, imperial reign. It's a smart move for Butch. One of the primary problems Republicans have is that many base voters were turned off by the the Louis XIV-style leadership we've had. Butch's campaign people clearly see this problem, and they are attacking it quite directly. His first commercial about the Statehouse underground wings was similar. He's attacking the Legislature and Dirky. Good for him!!!

DFO: I'd be more impressed if Butch would keep his date with Jerry Brady at the League of Women Voters Debate later this month.
