TV commercials

On to more mundane things...TV commercials!

Patty Wetterling's is okay for your standard introductory biographical piece. As if there are people in this state that don't know about Jacob Wetterling, but you have to start somewhere.

Pawlenty's tax ad is pretty lame. True, that is probably because I think he's pretty lame. I just can't keep from adding "....and led to the delay of the Crosstown reconstruction project" whenever he says he vetoed the bipartisan gas tax increase. That is something to be proud of?

The "word games" anti-Pawlenty ad isn't bad either. It points out how his "no new taxes" pledge is a joke, without being too negative or too kooky. It's not a groundbreaker, but it'll do.
