* Gov. Pat Quinn’s latest negative ad focuses on Bill Brady’s “education cuts.” Rate it…
* Scott Lee Cohen new “Job Fairs” ad…
Both of the above ads were recorded off the TV, so the quality isn’t that great.
* From Quinn’s campaign: Bill Brady’s Dog Plan…
That’s an edited version of a longer, earlier Internet promo video.
* Mark Kirk on the Sean Hannity Show…
* Mark Kirk endorses Bob Dold at an early voting rally…

Is the dog commercial going on the air?

I hadn’t realized til just now seeing em side by side that Dold is actually shorter than Kirk. Wow. That’s tiny.
Not sure Kirk’s endorsement is gonna help. Even a ton of my Kirky GOP neighbors are going for Seals.
“I can’t figure out who Dold is” is what I hear from left and right.

PS — Is Dold’s Dold With A D ad going on air?
It seems like he’s been silent so far (except for Citizens United-type attacks and NRCC ads). No broadcast. No cable. Least not directly from Dold that I’ve seen.
That is the cheeziest campaign commercial I’ve seen in a long time.

The dog ad will do more harm to Bill Brady than the one on “education cuts”. If Brady does not have a good answer to it, he will be fighting with the pet protection groups from now until E-day.

Gee who are the people who claim they got a job at the Cohen Job Fairs? Paid actors too?

Quinn has an ad explaining early release, not 100% sure it does him a big favor.

The Quinn ad is okay in that he keeps whaling on the Brady tax issue. I’m not sure Quinn won’t be cutting more from education as well.

Quinn has cut a billion dollars from education already and still owes schools 100 of millions of dollars from the 2010 budget. There have been thousands of teachers laid off and schools have had to raise’s fees and property taxes. Colleges have raised Tuition because Quinn owes them money from his 2010 and from his 2011 budget. Don’t tell me he doesn’t have the money he just doesn’t have it for anything except for when he’s handing out checks at his political events.

HeHas: What???
There’s a reason teachers statewide are backing Quinn. Brady will slash education funding, close schools and increase class sizes. Plain and simple.

@HeHas:
I was thinking the exact same thing.

Quinn Ad. C-. Doesn’t impress me as much as the earlier “Who is this Guy?” Ads. Maybe The theme is getting old for me.
Scott Lee Cohen Ad B-. It worked in the primary, and I think he is the real ? in the race. If he polls 5% he hurts Quinn. If he gets over 10% he may begin to hurt Brady.

So Quinn supports killing dogs one by one? Quinn should pull a Feingold and use imagery of Mike Vick to represent Brady. These are dogs, dogs no one wants, get over it.

Wumpus, that’s a great idea. I’m sure the Brady Boys will put a lot of money behind it.
