I wasn't that impressed. Kerry Spot THE "WOLF" AD [10/22 10:58 AM] The Note, which rebounds from yesterday's poor judgment with a funny summary of all the campaign coverage cliches this year, offers a hint of the "Wolf" ad that Rich mentioned in the Corner yesterday: As for the new Bush ad, the AP says the spot is, "reminiscent of Ronald Reagan's 'Bear' ad that was credited with framing the 1984 race, (and) shows a dense forest from above. Scurrying is heard as the camera plunges deeper into the woods and pans sunlight-speckled trees. Shadows move through the brush before animals are seen amid the forest. Then, the ad reveals the type of animal: a pack of wolves rest on a hill. As the commercial closes, the cunning and ruthless predators stir, crawling toward the camera." One Bush adviser tells ABC News, "The ad was produced and tested months ago. Voter reaction was so powerful that we decided to hold the ad to the end of the campaign and make it ONE of the closing spots. It will run to the end." The campaign says the ad will start to air today on national cable and in local markets in battleground states. The AP is reporting the ad will run in 14 states and that with the RNC, the campaign is spending about $15 million total on TV ads this week. UPDATE: The ad is here.http://www.georgewbush.com/ Here is the transcript: Voice Over: In an increasingly dangerous world… Even after the first terrorist attack on America… John Kerry and the liberals in Congress voted to slash America’s intelligence operations. By 6 billion dollars… Cuts so deep they would have weakened America’s defenses. And weakness attracts those who are waiting to do America harm. President Bush: I’m George W. Bush and I approve this message. "And I'm gonna get those wolves..."
