"I drive a truck and I'm asking for your vote" What the fuck Massachusetts?

[LeftyAndProud60]

Is this really all it takes?

[anonymous171]

1. What was the other candidate's catchphrase?

[BeyondGeography]

2. The massholiness of it all

:silly:

[RBInMaine]

3. Not "all." He CAMPAIGNED. She didn't. She blew it. Plain and simple. No sour grapes.

4. Sadly, yes. Good looks, being a man, not being a woman who didn't run a great campaign...

Posting nude eons ago, and, yes, showing that you have, by golly, a Ford Truck.

That's what it takes to turn things for the average american voter.

[NoNothing]

9. GM, actually

Not that it matters

[Terra Alta]

5. yeah, what does having a truck

have to do with the way one votes? :shrug: It's a big deal to ignorant rednecks(redundant) I guess.

10. The people that built the structure that you're posting from right now...

More than likely carried the crews, materials and tools in trucks. But I guess they were just ignorant rednecks, too. If you're going to paint with a brush that big, just use a seining net. It's much more efficient. I doubt that the type of vehicle one drives has any bearing on neck color.

6. 'cause good gas mileage is for wimps

7. God help us. NT

8. He said it in a MA accent

And he went to the actual voters of Massachusetts and made his case. He used voiceovers with the famous Massachusetts accent which, believe it or not, makes people feel like someone knows they are there.

Local touches matter. John Kerry had a brilliant ad in 2008 that showed a young veteran being helped by a compassionate Senator who went out of his way to do things for a constituent. Scott Brown flattered local voters in his ad campaign and his outreach.

We know this is how it's done, we just pretend otherwise sometimes. All the policy books and wonky positiions in the world won't take the place of that local touch.

12. Bury here so deep that nothing remains

Brown was the GW Bush of Massechussets with all his stances and if Coakley can even manage to lose this she should be unfit for any further position in the democratic party Bury her deep!

[Retrograde]

11. I'm trying to say nice things about Brown

for example, "He makes the clowns we elect in California seem intelligent". That's the best I can do so far.

[Xenotime]

13. bush->truck->elected. brown->truck->elected

Something tells me assholes like trucks.

[kenny blankenship]

14. "I'm Scott Brown. This is my truck"

"And this is my penis...now do you want to get in my truck or what?"
