The first is that it'll be effective. People watch negative ads for the same reason that they follow fire trucks. The second thing is that it was a concious decision to put create this ad and air it. It wasn't a "Oops - Why did I say that?" moment, it was a "How can we use the deaths of innocents to our political advantage?"<BR/><BR/>If you or I had the right software (Avid for example, which I do have lurking around here somewhere) I think the ad could be put together in the time it takes to locate the imagery used and record the voice. For a thirty second clip, using a decent computer you could do any edits and final cut in probably fifteen to thirty minutes.Paul MacPhailhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02079670609811458582noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13933783.post-64952913579158986282008-09-21T09:22:00.000-03:002008-09-21T09:22:00.000-03:00Given the polls - I would say a good many Canadian...Given the polls - I would say a good many Canadians think so too. <BR/><BR/>Maybe the "tried and true" smear campaigns the Libs have engaged in for years have finally gotten through to the majority of Canadians.<BR/><BR/>I wonder if the beauracrat that leaked that feels a little sweat on his neck.

How did the broke Liberals manage a slick ad in less than a day, unless, they had advance warning. <BR/><BR/>If, a Minister of the Government can not talk to his public servants during a crisis, without fear of it being leaked to the Liberals/MSM, what low level have the "public servants" sunk to?<BR/><BR/>I hope the union is checking into this, if not, they are as enforcing the public opinion that unions are the problem, not the solution.hunterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14180857240945765697noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13933783.post-54786029010328438162008-09-21T02:24:00.000-03:002008-09-21T02:24:00.000-03:00So you saying the Libs sat on the 'joke' until the...So you saying the Libs sat on the 'joke' until they had their attack ad ready to roll?<BR/>That's what I think too.wilsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03589410224972050999noreply@blogger.com
