I Trust Sincerity

In my head, this was the ad, that Paul should have closed with.
Jack Mitchell :: I Trust Sincerity
I'm not sure if I can say that you are all are with me on this. More than once, I have read comments that second guess Paul's drive to secure this seat. And honestly, on occassion, Hodes zigged when I thought a zag was in order.

But I'm gonna tell you something, if you don't already know.

The people of NH are fundamentally a decent, honest, industrious bunch. Paul gets that in his bones. And Paul, who could be off doing just about anything, dedicated himself to serving NH. Why? So, he could help foster what he saw best in folks. The best that they see in themselves.

That is the cornerstone of Paul's message. In all of Paul's ads, you see his sincerity.

We can argue back and forth whether Hodesy should have tried to keep pace with the tone of all the ugliness pouring out of our TVs. Fear drenched wails, fueled by cookie cutting consultants, trying to wedge their generic message into the hearts and minds of Granite Staters.

Kelly Ayotte is the generic ballot candidate. She strikes a pose with the best of them. Like Mrs. Potato Head, Kelly allows GOP strategists to assign her values and ideals based on national polling data and wish lists mailed in by their special interest masters. I hope NH voters finally see that candidate for the sham that she is.

On any given day, sincerity should defeat sham. In NH, with its wizened, campaign savvy electorate; November 2nd can be that day.

Paul Hodes has put his trust in the people of NH. He has put his trust in you. From Day 1, Paul approached this campaign with the intent of reflecting the best of himself, the best in you, back to the voters.

Trust them. Trust him.

Don't worry. Keep Working.

Groundswell!

Best Hodes Ad Yet (4.00 / 3)
Sincere, direct, talking directly with the voters about serious matters without a lot of flash and splash.  Let's hope it does the job, because a lot is at stake and the Republicans shouldn't be in control of the U.S. Senate

Agreed (0.00 / 0)
The more people who know Paul Hodes, the better his chances.  And this is the real Paul Hodes.

Phone banking in Manch went better than expected tonight.  Looking forward to a pre-game canvass tomorrow (will wear my lucky Troy Brown #80 jersey!).  


Really good ad (0.00 / 0)
I like how it addresses the attack ads.
