The RP: The Best Political Ad of the Cycle

I’ve written earlier that the only things I hate worse than negative ads are the political commercials of the “false positive” variety:  You know, the ads that exaggerate a candidate’s record and/or make them out to be something that they are not.

The Kentucky Secretary of State’s race is probably not one you follow closely, even if you live here.  However, you’ve got to watch the following ad in support of Alison Lundergan Grimes, a young Democrat in her first run for office.  Unlike the hyper-serious false positives you may be used to, this one is clever, funny, and even throws in a short, clear policy message:

I think that it is the best ad of the cycle, and perhaps even the best ad produced for a Kentucky Secretary of State’s race since this one below from 1995 (for contributing RP, John Y. Brown, III):

OK, OK, I admit: I’m a little biased: I wrote and directed the latter ad.

So, I will let the RP Nation decide. What do you think? Comment below:
