And You Thought You Were Free Of This

Ha ha, New Jersey has a primary coming up, too, and it's not until the first Tuesday in June. Apparently the state only moved up its presidential primary, and other primaries -- including U.S. Congressman Rob Andrews's challenge of current U.S. Sen. Frank "Secaucus Junction" Lautenberg -- aren't for over a month away. This ad shows that Congressman Andrews specifically killed like 300 million Iraqis. I can't wait for more of it!

Hillary Clinton Won't Ever Leave Us Alone

And you thought you could escape the election during a simple Phillies-Mets game, at least in between the commercial breaks. No go: Hillary Clinton's supporters parked right behind the Phillies dugout -- which meant that after the cameras realized there were Clinton signs there, we never saw another shot of a left-handed batter from that angle again. Thanks for ruining the game, Hillary!

No sporting arena is safe, it seems: Tonight, there's a rally with Bill, Hillary and Chelsea at The Palestra. Hillary was naturally on Q102 this morning as well.

Obama To Make All Gas Free

Hey, let's post some more political ads. Look, it's some union PAC (or whatever) sponsoring an ad where people tell you gas prices are high and that Barack Obama will magically make them lower. So it's essentially the same thing as that other Barack Obama ad, except this one is from an independent group.

Yes, he doesn't take money from oil companies! We know that already! Now will you people just tell us if he hates America or not?

Obama, Clinton Ads Now Getting Meticulous

The debate wasn't the only pointless thing yesterday. We've now entered into the stretch of meta-advertisements for the candidates; I saw this Clinton ad almost back-to-back with this Obama ad yesterday afternoon -- I cut out an ad for Mr. Clean or something that was in between them -- and, what do you know, it's a Clinton ad attacking that formerly ubiquitous Obama ad, and then... an Obama ad attacking that Clinton ad you just saw.

Is it Tuesday already?

Hit McCain, Win An iPod And The Presidency!

Chrissmari spotted this Punch the monkey-like ad on Philly.com for none other than Barack Obama! Apparently, he is the only candidate who can lower gas prices, get us a cheap x10 spy camera and stop our computers from broadcasting an IP address.

Real Change, With Low Carbs

Who the hell knew Bob Casey could talk? The guy who let Rick Santorum simply defeat himself in the 2006 election apparently can talk, and he's telling you to vote for Barack Obama. Why? Not just change, but real change. Really!

Turns Out No Candidate Can Spell

Yesterday, it was Hillary Clinton. Today, John McCain. At least the worst spelled incorrectly in Clinton's ad was not her first name.

Obama's Grandmother In New Ad

Look! Barack Obama has a new ad with his racist typical white person grandmother! This ad is way better than his other recent ones, however, though I'm sure Clinton will soon have an ad where she answers the phone at 3 a.m. to help Obama's grandmother cross the street to avoid black people.

Olivia Sadly Missing From New Clinton Ad

Here's Michael Nutter's new ad for Hillary Clinton. (She just released five new ones, including one in Spanish.) Not much to this, although Nutter says she wants to "invest in our communities," which no other candidate wants to do.

Ed Rendell's new Clinton ad after the jump.

Hillary's New Hilarious Parody Ad

Hillary Clinton just released her new Pennsylvania ad like 10 seconds ago; it's a remake of her 3 a.m. ad, which asked what presidential candidate you'd want answering the phone during a crisis at 3 a.m.

It apparently worked so well Clinton is now re-running the ad in Pennsylvania, only this time it's a 3 a.m. phone call about the economy! It's pretty much a complete parody of the original ad -- only it's actually funny, a first in Internet parody video history. Oh, yeah, and she's serious about answering that 3 a.m. economic crisis phone call. WHO FORGOT TO LOCK THE STOCK MARKET???

Oh, and Barack Obama got into a fight with an "eBay guy" today in Philly. If I want a candidate to tell off somebody... hmm. It was Walnuts McCain in a cinch, I though, but Obama showed me something today. Keep it up, Barry!

Barack Obama's New Ad

Whoa! Now Barack Obama is speaking directly to us like he's Vince Fumo or Tom Knox or something. But it makes fun of Exxon! And, oh no, $3.50 for gas! And for some reason they're going to pay a penalty for profits -- and this is going to make them want to make less profit which is good for us, the consumer.

Obama would get us off foreign oil, though, as he is insistent all new cars made after 2009 run on hope.

Vern Anastasio: Superhero For Council

With the advent of broadband Internet and the invention of YouTube and other easy video sharing services, now it's not just the richest candidates who can make video advertisements for their political campaigns. Sure, so far it's only three mayoral candidates -- Brady, Knox and Evans -- who have ads on television, but there's nothing to stop other mayoral candidates or City Council hopefuls from putting their videos online.

And, thus, here is Vern Anastasio's initial campaign ad, which shows that he's not only a candidate for City Council, he has superpowers as well.

Damn. You know, I'm all for better city services, but I think Anastasio should be playing up his abilities of teleportation and super-speed instead. I'm not quite sure how these would help our city, but, I 'unno, I think they'd impress voters enough to give Vern their vote.

And somewhere in South Philadelphia, Frank DiCicco's hardwood floors tremble... [Amen]
