Oakley-Leppert

Square Pegs

Published: June 5, 2007

Here's a quick look at the most recent mayoral race ads. I really wish now that we are down to only two candidates that the race would get much more substantive. Wishful thinking I guess.

Every time Leppert is asked about why he illegally dumped his company's garbage, he says "we" should stop with the attack ads.

Then he turns right around and attacks Oakley for trying to raise taxes - which Oakley has NOT done.

Leppert's trying to appeal to false Republican/Libertarian fears of increased taxes.

Oddly - Leppert goes on to say that he'll hire a whole bunch more cops, but doesn't say where the money will come from.

Frankly those videos that you just posted Mike are the ones I think the Leppert campaign out to be using for their ads. Currently the ads being used make Leppert seem like a mild mannered, happy-go-lucky, aw-shucks kinda guy. But the truth is that Leppert is an extremely intense individual, and that intensity gives him a presence in any room he steps foot in. To me, that is as big of a positive differentiator in Leppert's favor as any single issue. I like the Leppert talking to Tracy Rowlett much more than the Leppert in his campaign ads.

Thx...I think they got the idea from me...since I had mine up right after the debate. But it's all good. As you know, that's how it goes in the blog vs big media world.

seems to me that, if unfair park is going to reproduce an item that's 100% identical, they should at least acknowledge it. i mean, jeez. but you know what: anytime wilonsky begins a posting with the phrase "Several Friends of Unfair Park have e-mailed me..." it always smells fishy
