When asked for comment on the ad, Plummers campaign manager who would only identify himself with the pseudonym “Oswego Willy” said that it was all part of the plan.
Saw Plummer at an event recently. He certainly doesn’t come across as looking overweight. In fact, in seeing him in public, I was more struck by how tall he really is.

Why does everyone make fun of this guy? Didn’t he win a contested LG primary as a very young man; come within a few votes of getting elected LG? Ok, so that photo won’t be on the cover of GQ anytime soon, but it’s not like most of the people in politics are that great looking.
“I did this stuff I learned in college. You put a pro thing and then an anti thing and then whammo, you do this whole all caps thing and people get like ‘He’s saying stuff we need to know’… classes were hard.”
“I went to my reserve weekend and everyone was so proud of this ad, it was everywhere. On my computer, stuck to my locker, they put one on my leather note pad. It was a really big hit.”
“I think it will fit if you break it up like, REPUB-
LICAN. Just make it look good. I’m done giving you advice. I’ve got to get back to putting this price tags on all of these two by fours.”
“This guy said it was like an avanti-guard ad, and I told him, ‘buddy, I’m in the naval reserve, not in the guard”, and then he just put it up like I asked him”
I’ve seen this cartoon before. Baby Jason tries to get the other ducklings at school to play with him in the schoolyard. His enormous size causes injuries. Jason is spotted by a hungry fox. The fox pretends to be his friend.
Just as the fox is ready to push Baby Jason knto an oven, Jason realizes his danger.
“Hey you. You’re the fox. And I think you’re truing to eat me.”
“Where’s the American flag? You said if I did it *your* way you’d put an American flag in… and the checks aren’t blinking… this is awful, I want mine back… “
“This is just like college. I’d spend 45 minutes on my homework and someone comes over saying they were just gonna check it and whammo they’d give me something totally different and stuff. No colored pencils, numbers, it’s just like college all over again”

Well, we don’t really fix it, but we sell stuff to people who fix stuff. And that’s why I’m going to be the best Senator this state has ever seen. So vote for me and I’ll make sure your problems are fixed.” #toomuchtosaytogetinonenlineadsoithoughtibettersayitoutloud
