Let me get this straight: The candidate behind that ad is running in a GOP primary. Primary voters are typically more conservative than the ones in a general election. The candidate, therefore, thinks the way to win the primary is to compare the conservative voters to "sheep" whom the conservative candidate will lead to their doom.

Talk about demonization!

I don't like ads of either party that imply something without coming right out and detailing exactly what the attacked candidate did wrong. As non-specific as this ad is, it's just a smear-job. If it hammered the facts, with something more than vague demonic innuendo, it would have been an effective and legitimate ad.

Actually there are specifics in the ad related to his votes on budgets and taxes. The problem is that almost nobody remembers that because of the demon sheep and name calling.

Yerah, I guess there are. Although they could have been more specific and less dramatic and hyperbolic. It's just a dumb ad.

And it makes you wonder how many dumb ones are made, that they stop at the exit gate and don't released because they'll get a reaction like this one did, and they have the good sense at the last minute not to release them.
