I think the Democrats can take the GOP if either Dan Proft or Andy Martin get nominated, but it could be a GOP blowout if both Proft and Martin get the nod.
I assume his campaign released the blooper. Smart politics. Continued self-deprecation and a sense of humor might help him dull some of the rough edges that can turn off voters who aren’t true believers.
Reminds me of Blago who was always joking about his bad grades. I don’t think I want a Governor who is proud of screwing up? Don’t get me wrong, we all make simple mistakes, but I question highlighting that in a Gubernatorial campaign.

C’mon, get a sense of humor. Great stuff from Proft.

If “I am out of my mind” means “I am a raging egomaniac”, I would say he is spot on.

This kind of stuff only works if used sparingly. If you are from Chicago and see the BOB ROORMAN blooper commercials one more time you will want to throw your TV out the window.

Dan needs to stay in broadcasting. Governor he “ain’t”. He may talk the issues & so on but this isn’t a radio program,where you debate the next caller ; it’s the big time with serious issues to solve. He’ll be dealing with the GA not a producer. These are serious times that require serious people.
LIVE session coverage...

LOL. Hilarious. Not the best campaign slogan though…

Finally, some honesty in politics.

Well done and likely the high point of that campaign effort.

I’m Dan Proft, and I’m running for governor to make black the new red. (What’s with those signs, man?)

You are correct, which is why I identified it as from the campaign.

I am Dan Proft and I approve this message.

Blooper or unintended moment of brutal honesty?

I’m Dan Proft and I’m running for Governor because I need new sheep to shear after bleeding Cicero dry.
This guy is such a charlatan.
