Huge primary coming up on Tuesday....it's being said that if Romney were to lose Michigan, his home state, where his dad was governor, he's in huge trouble, but I'm not sure. Santorum is a bit too crazy, or at least, a little too willing to share his crazy beliefs.
Although Romney has seemed kinda weird lately too...
This 2 minute, $12 million bit came directly after halftime of the Super Bowl, and features Clint Eastwood growling nice things about Detroit and its never-say-die attitude. It's a near sequel to the Eminem-starring spots from last year, but is even more optimistic, and this time the soaring rhetoric of the ad is backed up by actual revenue numbers coming out of Detroit. Some GOP commentators criticized this as basically an Obama campaign ad, which, as it features avowed Republican Eastwood, it was obviously not intended to be. But since Obama did take on the risk of bailing out the Michigan auto industry, against the advice of GOP frontrunner and Michigan native Mitt Romney (who has gone against character and decided not change his mind on that. We'll see how that effects him in the Feb. 28th primary), who would have seen Detroit into a 'managed bankruptcy' (a probable precursor to liquidation), I guess he deserves some credit.
Anyway, it's an arresting, captivating ad:
I must say though, I liked these better:
Pizza, pizzaaaaaa:
Animal Interlude - Not quite a Super Bowl ad, but pretty cool:
15 yards, illegal humping. At least it wasn't illegal paws to the face.
And on to the real game...
I was rooting for the Pats, what with Tom Brady's Michigan connection and all (although I do have a framed Mario Manningham #86 jersey hanging in my room), but I had a sneaking suspicion the Giants would win. Their pass rush and sure-handed receiving corps ended up being the difference in the game.
I'll highlight some of the best ads later this week.
Welcome to my life. I broke my neck at the C-5/6 level in July of 2007 while abroad in Spain. I have since graduated from the University of Michigan and am now engrossed in regaining the ability to walk. Come with me on my journey!
