3. Bear ad
Yes, I rewatched the bear ad on the internet today. The KErry ad is much more similar than the Bush one. Reagan's, like Kerry's but unlike Bush's, never mentions the opponent by name. Never really mentions politics. Just leaves it to the viewer to figure it out. Very subtle and very powerful. Yay for Keith.

the Soviet Union. I haven't seen it in a long time, but a suspect without
that association it wouldn't have much impact or even make much sense.

What the hell is Bush doing with wolves? Most people have a good or
neutal association with them.

5. Bush rips off everything Reagan did
His "new" Texas ranch just like Reagan's old ranch.

His liking to have world leaders photo'd wearing Cowboy hats, just like Reagan did.

He did have to change to a pickup truck over a horse but then he does not like horses. :)
