Dome pokes fun a political advertising a good bit -- but for Richard Morgan's new radio advertisement, no words can do it justice. Morgan, the former Republican House co-speaker ousted and disowned by many in his own party, is running state insurance commissioner.
The 30-second ad, which launched a week ago, features an upbeat woman telling voters about Morgan while hip-hop elevator music plays in the background. The best lines: "Richard Morgan is not your typical guy in politics. Richard Morgan rates high on the scale of awesomeness." (Not making this up.)
"Richard Morgan is an amazing friend. (Shows picture of Morgan hugging two dogs in YouTube version.) And Morgan is "nothing short of a fairytale dream come true for us." Take a listen above.

Richard Morgan Ad
May 4, 2012 - 4:32pm — orielisSorry, but I don't see what is the big deal. Are we objecting to candidates who run positive ads now? Are we saying that a candidate who isn't airing a negative ad is reprehensible?
I listened to it, and I believe I'd already heard it once on the radio. I certainly prefer an ad of this type than 80% of the ads that are currently clogging the airwaves.
I guess that means that Under the Dome really prefers candidates to run negative ads.
Still a RINO

Wouldn't vote for him for the proverbial "dog-catcher". Morgan or his buddy Stephen LaRoque.
Wondering
May 4, 2012 - 2:09pm — Oldgoat420if, as the writer suggests, this is a RADIO ad, why the pictures? Maybe I'm just out of step, but my radio doesn't show pictures.
