My apologies. We got so embroiled in the Land Commissioner email story that I forgot to post Bill Halter and Blanche Lincoln’s final pre-runoff ads. First, Halter: I mentioned after Halter’s previous ad that I was impressed with the work…

AR-Land Comm: Davenport's New Ad, Now With 100% Less Guitar Playing!
Meh. It’s not a bad ad, per se, and it is definitely better than his previous ad. Though, let’s be honest, he didn’t set the bar real high on that one, what with the random 2-second song break. At the…
AR-01: Wooldridge Lies About Causey Lying, Insults BHR
First it was Blanche Lincoln. Then it was Robbie Wills. Now we can add Tim Wooldridge to the list of candidates who are basing their ads on a belief that voters are too dumb to separate truth from fiction. Ooooh,…
AR-02: Elliott's New Ad Rings Familiar Bell
Update: Because I don’t think I was totally clear in the post that follows, I just wanted to put up front that I think it was a good ad in that it had a snappy punchline and called Wills out…
AR-03 In The Blogs: Whitaker In The Catbird Seat?
Roby Brock thinks that might be the case if Cecile Bledsoe and Steve Womack continue their snippy campaigning. In other Arkansas federal races, candidates and campaigns are debating issues ranging from Social Security to veterans to gun laws and abortion.…
AR-01: Causey Launches New Ad, "Quotes" BHR
OK, first, the ad. I like it. While I credited Bill Halter and L.J. Bryant recently for not mentioning their opponents, I think Chad Causey is smart to mention Tim Wooldridge here. Wooldridge has gone on the offensive by playing…
AR-Land Comm: [Breaking] Bryant Behind greedymontydavenport.com ?
That certainly looks to be the case. Back when we first mentioned greedymontydavenport.com, I wrote: While I am reasonably sure that this fellow (?) isn’t really a 16th century Englishman plotting to blow up the Houses of Parliament, I think…
AR-Land Comm: Bryant's New Commercial
Nicely done. Despite Monty Davenport’s recent attacks on L.J. Bryant’s plans for the Land Commissioner’s office, Bryant does not use the commercial to mention Davenport or try to directly rebut his attacks. Rather, it’s a solid message of “I finished…
AR-Sen: Philander Smith as Prop?
That’s the charge by Bill Halter, anyway. On the eve of former President Bill Clinton’s planned return to Arkansas to boost Sen. Blanche Lincoln’s reelection campaign, Democratic primary challenger Bill Halter’s campaign is charging Lincoln with “hypocrisy” over the venue…
AR-Sen: Halter's Second Run-Off Ad
I subscribe 100% to the school of thought that says every communication in life “is not about what you say, but about what people hear,” and I think that rule should be applied most stringently in the political realm. Fully…
