My opinion:

Worst (tie):





Best:



What are your favorites? What is, in your mind, the worst so far?

Discuss.
 
This hurt to watch.


 
my favorite include the retired Seal slamming obama and OBAMAPHONE LADY




the worst is the appeal to the pathetic losers with the illegally leaked tape of Romney speaking to wealthy conservative donors
 
best : an actual candidate talking about the issues.

worst : every single superpac ad.

this is my world cup year, and the superpac ads are really screwing it up. both sides at all levels are plastering each other with half truths and distortions at unprecedented volume.
 
I had never seen the Tomas Peterffy ad before. I think it is awesome. No hiding behind a superPAC pseudo-patriotic name. He says who he is, what he thinks, and pays for it himself. That alone should be applauded IMO. :applaud:usflag2:

I first saw it on CNBC. Seemed like they ran it a lot there. But yeah it's great, my favorite of the year by far. :)

Zanesville- about 50 miles east of Columbus.

ah the former capitol of the state. I used to go to the New Philadelphia area once a year and we'd drive through Zanesville on 70. Isn't there that bridge on 70 just east of town as you go up the hill?

Not really a campaign ad but a get out and vote ad that a local Asian American advocacy group made and got a local congressman to help in. Just kinda fun stuff to my mind:

I have mixed emotions after watching that.
 
These are probably the two best I've seen out of the GOP. The reason? They both largely are an attempt to speak to that disaffected fat middle of Moderate Republicans, Independents, and Moderate Democrats that voted for Obama but were swayable in this election cycle and who are going to be key to either 1) win over or 2) depress their turnout.



 
I don't watch TV, however I have seen a few ads and don't like any of them.
 
The best:

Campaign Ad

I would vote for them if I were you.

Any add that doesnt objectively inform.
 
Here's a good one.



American Crossroads: "At Stake"

(with Clint Eastwood)
 
I don't watch much TV so I've been spared having to see many ads at all. However when I saw this one I thought it was pretty clever. One of my best friends( who is a die hard liberal democrat) pointed it out to me as one the more effective anti Obama ads he has seen and I agreed. So this would be my submission for "best" with the Big Bird ad linked earlier as worst, though that GOP one "New Morning" is also quite atrocious!
