Here's the kind of political ad I like to see Democrats run

https://signalpress.blogspot.com/2022/05/new-tim-ryan-for-senate-ad-is-exactly.html

Marjorie Taylor Green might have won a conservative congressional district in the deep South, in Georgia, but Tim Ryan is banking on the fact that her conspiracy theories and her nutcase politics won't play well in Cleveland, or Columbus or Cincinnati or Akron. Or Zanesville.

And I'm fairly certain that they won't.

Oh, I am sure there are plenty of Ohioans who buy into everything that Greene thinks represents the real world. It's a poison that a lot of people can't seem to resist the temptation to resist, and just because you live in Ohio doesn't mean you aren't susceptible to being gullible or ignorant. But Ohioans don't see all of the things she does or says, especially the extremist rhetoric based on conspiracy theories that can't be reconciled with any existing or known fact. I knew she was a nutcase lunatic, but some of what he features in his commercial is as bad and as crazy as anything she says. And playing, and replaying, Vance's endorsement and approval of her is a great way to help people make the connection.

I love Ryan. He takes no prisoners.

Fetterman is cut from similar cloth, but comes off as a bit less serious than Ryan, I think?

filled with brief clips of the nutter things repubs have said about rape, abortion etc etc

but must be tied to the local repub against whom the ad is running
