I doubt, honestly, that even 10% of the people who voted for Sonny Perdue ever saw that ad but the buzz was huge. And the more outrage it caused the better people liked it.

The weird genius behind Carly Fiorina's "demon sheep" ad.

Jon, as a Georgian and an advertising guy, how on earth can you have a discussion of bizarre campaign ads without invoking the sacred name of Margie Lopp and probably the most stunning come-from-behind upset in a statewide election in our lifetime?????

(For the uninitiated, I suggest that you skip to 7:35, watch for about 30 seconds, marvel that this was an actual winning ad, then, if interested, watch the entire 11-minute video to get the sense of what a difference-maker this was.)
