- Share via
My latest column lists my picks for the best and worst political advertisements of this fall’s presidential campaign. But don’t take my word for it; see them yourself. Here are links to the commercials I mentioned in the column:
Best positive ad, Obama: Obama for America, “Determination”
Best positive ad, Romney: Mitt Romney, “Too Many Americans”
Most effective negative ad, Obama: Obama for America, “My Job”
Most effective negative ad, Romney: Mitt Romney, “Right Choice”
Best celebrity ad, Democratic: MoveOn.org, “Vote” (Scarlett Johansson, Eva Longoria, Kerry Washington)
Best celebrity ad, Republican: American Crossroads, “At Stake” (Clint Eastwood)
Best celebrity ad, special Bill Clinton category: Obama for America, “Clear Choice”
Silliest ad: Obama for America, “Big Bird”
Most risque ad: Obama for America: “Lena Dunham -- Your First Time”
Special award for artistic merit: Americans for Prosperity, “The Dinner Table”
As always, I hope you’ll feel free to nominate your own favorites and unfavorites as well.
