Rep. Michele Bachmann (R-MN), has a new TV ad going after her Democratic opponent, state Sen. Tarryl Clark, on taxes. Interestingly, this mega-star of the Tea Party right does not showcase any of her own exploits, and is not present in the ad at all beyond her mandatory statement that she approved this message.
Instead, the ad features a man introducing himself as “Jim the election guy,” who will “be around to sort things out” in the campaign, and then tells the viewers about how Clark loves taxes, in the fashion of some kind of friendly tech-support representative.
Is this some pop culture reference that I’m just too out of touch to get? I’ve asked around the TPM office, and nobody else here understands it.
