A pal o’ mine recorded Mayor Daley’s new TV ad and passed it along for your perusal. You can see it below (there is another ad in front of it, so don’t be confused).
Mayor Daley is hitting the airwaves with a “modest buy” of television commercials that tout his 18-year record on education, crime-fighting, and downtown and neighborhood development — with no mention of City Hall corruption.
“I would call it a modest buy,” said the mayor’s longtime political consultant, David Axelrod. “It’s not a hugely heavy buy. It’s enough to get our message across. . . .
“One of our concerns, frankly, is that people know there is an election. It’s very low-key out there,” he said. […]
The 30-second commercial shows Daley driving in a car and in a classroom with kids. An announcer says Daley is “working for deeper reforms to give all our kids a chance” even though test scores are up and dropout rates are down.
