Smoove Ron

After watching what seems like endless NH campaign spots this month, I have become a little a sick of the state of discourse. The candidates apparently believe that creativity is not what they need (maybe they're right) and bouncing headlines, bland hazy feelgood and shrieking attacks from generic announcerpeople appear to be the order of the day.(Although Romney's "oceans of pornography" spot is sort of interesting for its utter weirdness). One of the most annoying ads is for Ron Paul- its a bunch of ordinary well-fed folks uttering common place phrases without reflecting too much of the buzz and excitement you would think the success of his internet fundraising would engender.

One particularly galling line is from a know-it-all with a painful voice who asserts "He's a doctor. He must know a thing or two about health care." After hearing this about 20 times, this got me thinking- actually Dr. Paul is a gynecologist. He has very specialized that could be brought to bear on the problems facing America.

Just think-- he could run a "womens' issues" ad and have some voter
say "He's a gynecologist. He must know a thing or two about vaginas"

Wonder what that would do for the GOP's gender gap.
