How refreshing, both candidates both went for the original political ads this week. They promoted themselves instead of bashing each other. Let's start with Jerry Brown.
Brown went to San Jose this past week and had quite the famous endorser: Bill Clinton. They had themselves a little rally on the San Jose State University campus. The news spot on Brown's YouTube channel shows only the positives of Brown- why Clinton is endorsing him, what he plans and wants to do if he's elected, and it shows an auditorium full of people cheering Brown and Clinton on. All positive images are shown, smiles, handshakes, hugs, and people cheering.
As most of you know, Meg Whitman got into some trouble for hiring an illegal Mexican immigrant. One of her newest ad shows her interacting with the Mexican people and even shows Mexican professionals giving their own positive testimonials for Whitman. They shows them saying that they believe Whitman can help them out of California's budget crisis, saying that she's a relatable person that has what it takes to help them. The ads shows video of Whitman smiling and making friends with the Mexican community and their kids. Whitman does some background narration saying that CA is worth fighting for.
I'm glad that both candidates promoted themselves this week instead of attacking each other. Both ads had very positive images which makes it hard to choose which one I liked better. But I'm going to have to go with Brown, he did have Bill Clinton as an endorser. But to be fair, both Brown and Whitman conveyed their messages quite well this week, leaving all the baloney behind them. I only say Brown did better this week because of Clinton, for one, and the fact that we went to SJSU to do a rally, which was a huge success. So I give Brown and A and Whitman a B+.
