Humour v All out Assault

A while back I mentioned about about humour in election planning and how the Best Party has actually run such a campaign. The alternative to humour in the planning room is when you spend 5 minutes thinking about the full blown ideological campaign that you wish you could run with no floating voters to worry about. Dale Peterson tried this approach in Alabama to get the republican nomination for Agricultural Commissioner. His internet ad became something of a sensation even described as the best political ad ever.



He lost coming last in a three way contest.
