Spin Control

More fun videos: Campaign commercials

A few weeks ago, Spin Control reported on a campaign commercial for governor of Alabama,  not because we care how the race comes out, but because it contained an interesting catch phrase: "We speak English here."

Turns out Alabama is a wealth of fun campaign commercials, compared to which Washington state is a boring desert. Here's a couple more.

For the GOP nomination for governor, it's apparently a bad thing to believe in evolution.


And when running for Ag Secretary, the strategy seems to be to consider Alabama as "somewhere West of the Pecos."
