The best and worst of political ads
At the Dole Institute Tuesday night, fellow [Paul Curcio showed][1] several of the best and "most infamous" political ads ever.Through the magic of YouTube, here are nine of the 11 commercials he showed. The other two did not seem to be hanging out on the Internet. KU political science professor [Burdett Loomis][2] adds several more local ads to the "best" list.He cited the 1974 Bob Dole "mudslinger" ad as one that is widely known and appreciated, and the 1998 Dennis Moore guitar playing ad as another that was extremely effective. Neither of those have been preserved by the Internet either.The best ads:"Most infamous" ads (Some of these may be hard to watch): [1]: http://www2.ljworld.com/news/2007/aug...
