I hate to seem to be joining it, the more so since I can't claim to have been bashing Gerry before it was fashionable. (I wouldn't mind so much if it was just the rest of the world catching up with me.)<br /><br />But I think Gerry's being unduly doctrinaire about the purpose of an attack ad. They are not by their nature meant to influence the non-decided voter. Like all ads, they're intended to influence everyone who sees them. What sets attack ads apart is that they are not intended primarily to drive up support for the party that runs them, but to drive down support for the targetted party.<br /><br />A good Tory attack ad on Igantieff might make a wavering or potential Tory voter feel good about his choice of party, but that's not the primary goal. What's wanted is for the Liberal voter - potential, wavering or hitherto committed - to ask himself why he's considering voting for such a doofus and whether he really should bother. Given the divided state of the Liberal party and the evident existence af substantial factions hostile to Ig, it's not a bad idea to motivate them to sit this election out. The more Liberals don't vote, the further the Tory base can carry the party.<br /><br />That said, I doubt that this ad isthe way to go about it.ebtnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17859678.post-781323144332333962011-01-28T13:48:00.797-05:002011-01-28T13:48:00.797-05:00Here's how the Liberals could counter the Tory...Here's how the Liberals could counter the Tory spot:<br /><br /><i>Announcer: Does Stephen Harper really want to close down orphanages and dump toxic waste into our lakes?<br /><br />Clip of Stephen Harper: "Yes I do."
