I don't know who out there funds such things, but I heard a great ad for Kerry on the radio this morning. It was an endorsement for Kerry by Gen. Merrill "Tony" McPeak, former Chief of Staff of the Air Force and Bush voter in 2000 (and, for what it's worth, one of the guys with stars on their shoulders that I've long admired as having guts, vision, and a willingness to take on the status quo when it could use a good shake). It was really quite simple, primarily hitting the theme that we need strength, but we also need competence and that he knows Kerry isn't a man who'll take us to war without a plan to win. I think it's the kind of thing that would appeal to lots of people here in rural areas, or in the Midwest. If there's still air time to buy, I think the campaign or its surrogates would be well-served by airing that more often.
