(31,780 posts)In NJ - we don't see these because we are so late in the process.
It's a good ad - but I only know the music because my mom is of that era and I grew up listening to it. So fair point on "knowing it".
What I didn't see - as they are looking for America - is how the Sanders Administration would empower my small community to do what it needs to do to move forward?

If you dig into old posts of mine from this summer (you don't have to but anyone reading this can) a large part of O'Malley's appeal is his hands off approach if you are doing the right things. I don't need to take resources from Newark, Camden, Elizabeth, Jersey City - I can do it in this tiny borough and give a hand up to those on the coast and across the bridge from Philly.
I've accepted that as long as I live here we will always have Republican representing us in the House. This a fact. It's a legacy seat and is only shared by a few families with a lot of clout. What I can't accept is being stuck with ths jackass until he dies, Coleman losing her seat (Princeton area) and Menendez and Booker holding on for dear life. This ad won't help us down ballot.
Just watched it a fourth time - if there is still a battle going on in June - this can't be shown. Or he needs to get a Jersey band/artists music in there and show a woman (black or Latina) getting up in the dark and making several bus transfers to get to her suburban $12 an hour job - now would be a good time to get footage. The roads and public transport are open tomorrow regardless of the three feet of snow.
People commuting long distances plays very well in this state.
