Beach Boys

Ben Adler offers a reminder that Mitt Romney isn't the first candidate to engage in beach-themed advertising:

Ben thinks this shows Romney is doomed, but at the end of the day Lieberman won.

" at the end of the day Lieberman won."

I've got no opinion of the Mitt ads as of yet, but going back to the Lieberman campaign, those spots were fucking brilliant.

If Lamont had had any slight chance remaining, those spots slammed the door on him. Very, very effective means of communicating the message.

The troops may well support the batshit crazy wingnut antiwar candidate, but I'm not sure that's great news.

Its good news in terms of undercutting the "support the troops" meme employed by the republican front-runners; who got, combined, less support FROM the troops.

That looks like the same porn water in Mitt's spot, but depicted as something safe and relaxing.

All of a sudden, I am simply parched for some porn water.

When I read this post, I remembered one of Gerhardt Schroeder's spots from the German 1998 general election campaign:
