Does the feeble Lieberman ad point to a deeper problem? Do Dems have to confront their inner doofus?
I wonder if, with Lieberman’s campaign against Lamont, we’re seeing the Democratic party’s ineffective campaign tactics from the other side. What I mean is, aren’t these the same geniuses who run campaigns against Republican opponents every two years? As we’re people who regularly root for the Democratic candidate, it’s hard to for us to accurately assess the effectiveness of Democratic campaign ads, since criticisms from opponents are often brushed aside.
Now that we’re watching these same tactics in action against our guy (or in your case, someone towards whom you’re ambivalent) everyone’s response has been, “My God, this is horrible!” And really Josh, you’d have the best perspective in this case, playing the role of the independent voter.
Regardless of who wins the primary, maybe this can be a learning experience and/or a wake-up call for Democratic campaign strategists.
