And Courtesy of the Savannah Morning News, we have this ad run on Dublin TV 35 for Maria Sheffield.

Well, that about wraps it up for me. Aunt Evelyn’s little ditty has convinced me that Sheffield is the one.

That is, only if this race was for Second Assistant for the Hospitality Committee of the local elementary school PTA instead of for someone who thinks they are congressional material.

I don’t live in this congressional district.

That’s OK, neither does Maria.

Calypso July 10, 2012 at 10:06 am

But she has deep roots there, I understand.

Had to check the calendar to make sure it’s not April 1st.

But is that really being aired on TV? Worst political ad I’ve ever seen.

Bridget July 10, 2012 at 11:30 am

Lawd hep me because I am judging others right now.

I wonder what she really meant when she said “Put John Barrow Out.”
Seems like a job for the “Blog” of “Unnecessary” Quotation Marks: http://www.unnecessaryquotes.com

What is “wrong” with the way she did it?

How long have you people been following Georgia politics? Wyche Fowler vs. Paul Coverdell. Bueller? Bueller? http://tinypic.com/r/fva2jn/3

Charlie July 10, 2012 at 1:12 pm

Oh yes, it’s right there in the ad. It’s a fine line between “tribute” and “blatant rip off”.

Thanks for the interesting GA political history. (I honestly mean that).

Let’s see, this was Fall of 1992. I was a sophomore in high school. So, I was following girls and sports. The Braves had another great season in 1992.

Calypso July 10, 2012 at 2:31 pm

“I was a sophomore in high school.”

Lawton, I think I have undershirts at home older than you.

Napoleon July 10, 2012 at 3:34 pm

Lawton, I was a sophomore too…sadly, I knew the song too well.

Napoleon July 10, 2012 at 3:37 pm

Correction, I was a junior. (what happened to the modify/delete feature?)

Lawton Sack (Go Jackets!) July 10, 2012 at 3:40 pm

Apparently it was giving some people the opportunity to modify/delete other people’s posts.

Calypso July 10, 2012 at 4:51 pm

And now it seems to be gone altogether.

Lawton Sack (Go Jackets!) July 10, 2012 at 3:43 pm

I do remember voting for Bill Clinton in 1992 for a mock election, though. I thought it was cool that we was going on Arsenio playing the saxophone and he had a daughter around my age. (Mock elections in High School don’t show up in Voter Vault or my voting history, right?)

Napoleon July 10, 2012 at 5:26 pm

My mock vote for George H.W. Bush was my final break with my youthful flirtation with the Democratic Party. I did vote (gasp) for Dukakis in the 1988 mock school election. I think I may have been the only one in my school who did that.

It’s a sign of strange times to use seniors being colliquial, children to campaign with “vote for my Dad” signs and unions to hire street people to carry signs.

This commercial cost less to make than my lunch today….

ricstewart July 13, 2012 at 8:04 pm

I hear Mitzi Gaynor will be doing her next ad.

I Miss the 90s July 14, 2012 at 12:16 am

I do not like old people in advertisements.

-10 points for stupid campaigning.

BillyBobTalksPolitics July 14, 2012 at 12:45 am

Maria sweetheart…please retire from this campaign. Your skills can be best served elsewhere than in this congressional race.
