Charlie Wilson Country Stylin'

Charlie Wilson (OH-06) has a radio ad urging folks to write him in. It's a real country ditty you gotta listen to.

The Second of May is election Day,
Charlie Wilson want to be our congressman
But a technicality is keeping Charlie off the ballot
So now we're gonna have to write him in

Ted Strickland is backing Charlie Wilson
He's he's the Democratic we need in DC
So Ted's askin' you to write Charlie in
'Cause Charlie wilson will stand up for you and me

Republicans attack him left and right
But Charlie wont back down from a fight
Oh George bush will feel the pain
When in write in Charlie's name

Charlie Wilson will fight you you and me

Yeeehaww. Classic.

I know, those poor uneducated hicks down there like Country music... so let's make a really jingoistic ad that only a DC consultant would not see as patronizing.

I liked it

Thought it was fun.

As a Hillbilly...

resident of the 6th CD, and country music fan I thought it was piss poor. I suppose next Charlie will go hunting with Strickland and wear a brand new Carhartt... Ops, wait, strike that... already been done.

Carhartt . . .

 . . . one of my best buddies wears a Carhartt 24/7 . . . my question is . . . what is he to wear after Memorial Day?  A white Carhartt?

Resisting, resisting, resisting...

ok, I can't... I hope Charlie Gets with the program and starts talking about the important things to the people of the 6th CD... like Trade.

Can't have....

Lenough talk about trade!

Why do people who have never been to rural Ohio . . .

 . . . think they know what we want?

says a guy from

Missouri ? heh.

Trade - it's what everyone wants.

everyone's from somewhere . . .

 . . . and some of us don't even have funny accents . . .

heh

touche ~

OK, I'll bite...

What do you want?

Skeet Shoots.

Would make me happy.

I want . . .

 . . . the money he just paid to a 'DCCC approved' consultant to produce, and media buyer to place, to be instead used on a local canvass to get absentee ballots cast for Sorry Charlie. 

I wold hope they are doing that

in addition to ads...

And I was hoping . . .

 . . . they had 50 people to sign on the line for Charlie.

 

Let's all hold our breath together!

Alan,

Your commentary is some of my favorite.  I enjoy your wit.  Just thought I'd say that...we need an award or something.

This years wittiest comment specialist in a supporting role goes to...Alan Harvard!

"You better get politics or politics will get you" - my grandmother

urgh

don't encourage him ! LOL It's like feeding the lions at the zoo.

hey

just tryin to bump the soundscan...alan, you are free to employ your wit over at plunderbund anytime buddy.  anytime...heh  

"You better get politics or politics will get you" - my grandmother

Nah . . .

Nobody reads blogs. 

Harvard is Funny...

I don't care who you are.

What's the award?

My very own 'BloggerBrand' Pajamas and a weekend in your mom's basement with a cute little kitten?

nope

you won't get off that easy...  

"You better get politics or politics will get you" - my grandmother

Then how about . . .

 . . . beer and pie.

Hey that's what's best about Liberals

They know what's best for you.

chewin' tobacco

come on harvard, their campaign manager chews tobacco and carries a baseball bat around the office! 

and they are canvassing.  grassroots solutions picked up the contract.  no, i'm not bitter.  not bitter at all.  (besides, how can we keep losing if we don't bring in the out of state consultants?!)  yeah, so i'm a little bitter.

Grassroots Solutions

Ahh yes . . . Sean Gagin . . . he hired me for my very first Campaign job . . .

oddly enough...

that would be right around the time that Grassroots Solutions began the slow slide into ineptness.

ouch, redenema

harvards' a good man.  grassroots solutions, well, they're the competition, so blast away!

I trust...

that Mr. Harvard up there knows I'm teasing him. If you look over the past threads you will notice that I've been a longtime fan and defender. Just giving him a hard time...

i know

but i couldn't resist typing red enema.  just couldn't stop myself.  and, yeah, harvard can fend for himself like the good missouri hilljack he is (says the guy from mississippi)

PRE-Grassroots Solutions . . .

 . . . Sean was the Statewide Iowa Field Dir for Bill Bradley for President when he and I worked together . . . via Missouri

'Grassroots Solutions' - we're not a lawn service.

How the F did they get 'DCCC Approved'?

I hear

that somehow sacrificing a chicken is involved.

well then

i can choke some chickens if that's what it takes to get dccc/dscc approved!  wait, that didn't come out right.  damn it. 

I thought these campaign

I thought these campaign jingles died out about the time President Johnson released his "Daisy Girl" ad in 1964.

The ad itself isn't that great. I could write a better country jingle, but then again, I've been in about five alt-country bands. Message-wise, they should have emphasized in the chorus to write Charlie in. Otherwise, people won't remember what they need to do to elect this guy. Walk in, write in Charlie Wilson.
