Snyder's Superbowl Ad

Rick Snyder ran an ad on Superbowl Sunday asking voters to elect a "nerd." Having met Mr. Snyder, I can confirm that his social awkwardness is very apparent. It's even obvious in the ad. After following his campaign for around two months, I remember when I meeting him and feeling let down. Watching him in the gubernatorial debate I felt the same way. There's so much pizazz to his campaign, yet he's such a dud in person. For a high-profile candidate, it can be the kiss of death. I suppose the Snyder campaign decided to confront the elephant in the room, which could turn out to be a very smart move.

  1. I'm not voting for Snyder (Voting for Cox) because I think he's a liberal on both fiscal and social matters, but I did think that was a good ad. He was polling at 2%, had the money to spend, and needed to get his name out. He certainly did so. I got a ton of hits on my blog from people looking up Snyder.

    The best thing he can do is stop giving political speak answers. If he wants to be the non-politician, he can't give political non-answers to questions.
