Kline runs the ad Kennedy needed.
Last Friday it looked like Kennedy found some campaign footing at the last possible minute by airing a substantive ad on Iraq. I commented on it here. It was a wonderful chance to turn his flagging campaign around, but alas, it looks as if the moment has slipped by due to the lack of follow through.
The one ad wasn’t enough. Kennedy needed to make a series of bold pronouncements on other current issues to contrast substantive policy with Klobuchar’s vacuity. The Kline ad on immigration is exactly what he should have put out as a follow-up no later than this last Monday. But with only 12 days left and no evidence to contradict the unanimity of the polls, something big better happen within the next 48 hours.
