Wow, that's bad.



I was embarrassed just watching it and I am not a Democrat. I don't even know where to start making fun... the choice of one of that era's most insipid songs*, the idea that mobilizing the ex-hippie vote will help him win, that a "Dump Nixon" sign was all it took for Angelides to become a Democratic Party hack?

Maybe the campaign has so little money at this point that they're having their high school interns do the ads.



*Even the horrible "San Francisco (Wear Some Flowers In Your Hair)" was more poignant and militant than "Let Your Love Flow".

I thought that "dynamic" and "state treasurer" were mutually exclusive properties.

I thought all the anti-right wingers were stoned in the 70s? No? Television has led me wrong once again.

i'm giving him a sympathy vote; somehow, that feels like all the votes i have made for democrats in the last 8 years.

ideologically, i should be voting far, faaaar left.. but part of me wants to see a president mccain. go figure.

I come back to California and am met with this. It's so bad it's funny. Truly, I giggle every time it comes on the tv.

The ad agency needs to incorporate an emphasis on his supreme visual nerdiness (who is smarter than this dude? nobody!), 50% more hot daughters, and a backwards walking Arnold. Oh wait, ad agency, that's what this guy's missing.

I saw that ad and thought "Wow, he has no chance.".

It's surprising to me a little because we were here during the primary. Angelides was putting out fairly good ads at that time. Everything I've seen from him during my trips here this summer and then since the move has just been awful.

"The most effective and dynamic State Treasurer in a generation"!
