Here's the latest from Tom Knox. It's called "Mothers."
This is what is known as running from the left. While the ad doesn't make any concrete proposals, it tries to tug at the heartstrings not only of the many people in Philadelphia who are single parents or have been raised by single parents but also those on the liberal left who use social justice as one of their determining factors for deciding for whom to vote.
Having seen Knox in person a few times, I haven't been impressed with his public speaking ability or his one-on-one interactions. However, he does a decent job in this commercial.
And of course, there's the fact that he's the only guy on the air right now so if he's able to keep this up through May, he may be able to define himself effectively before the others get going. I'm not sure where or what time this ad is airing but I'd bet it's a similar buy to the one he started a couple of weeks ago (ie local news, cable stations, morning and early evening, etc.).
Now, I think we'd all like to hear what it is he intends to do for those single mothers and their children.
Anyone else? Thoughts?
