Find The Lamar And Have Steve Cropper Praise Him

By Kleinheider Posted on October 4, 2008 at 11:58 pm

Bob Tuke’s campaign for U.S. Senate has long asserted that one of its hidden advantages in its long shot bid to defeat Lamar Alexander was that many voters in Tennessee were either not born or not in Tennessee while Lamar Alexander was Governor.

Tuke’s assertion was that while many Tennesseans see Lamar as an icon who transcends party, there was a large swarth of new voters who really don’t know who Lamar Alexander is who are open to suggestion.

Well, starting Monday, the Alexander for Senate Campaign is gonna drop some coin to go ahead and get those voters, too. Ya, know just to see if they can’t just completely run up the score.

The ad was produced by McCain creative director “Hollywood” Fred Davis of “Celeb” ad fame and narrated by legendary guitarist Steve Cropper.

Erik Schelzig has more on the ad which continues Alexander’s “Find the Good and Praise It” theme from earlier in the cycle.

    Tuke has no advantage. He almost got defeated by a complete unknown in the primary and has done nothing to make his campaign more visible since.

    I didn’t know Steve Cropper was a Republican.

    Must’ve been all that dope he smoked back in the day.
