why no "chickenhawk" ads?
Why don't Democrats run ads that show the American people what the fiercest of hawks were doing when it was their time to serve?

ex: Show a clip of Karl Rove talking about "cutting and running", then tell the audience what he did or did not do during the Vietnam war.
Show a clip of cheney talking about "cutting and running"....
Show a clip of Bush talking about "cutting and running"....

Why isn't this done?

And why doesn't the DNC take advantage of the closeness to Hollywood producers/directors to produce good
spots?

1. Good point!
And why do we act like Karl Rove is the only "brilliant" strategist out there? I'm sure we can come up with a few in the ranks of the Dems!

2. Who will run them?
Ask MoveOn.org about the willingness of the media to play "controversial issue" ads . . . from lefties or Dems . . . the "media" is more than happy to run ads calling Dems baby-killers and such . . .
