The egotistical, delusional Lisa Murkowski has a new campaign ad out exhorting Alaskans to write in "Lisa Murkowski" at the ballot box. The ad is making news because the original version of the ad misspelled Murkowski's name and unwittingly sent viewers to LisaMurkwski.com, an anti-Murkowski website.

While it's nice to have a pebble to fling in Murkowski's face -- Ha, you're so stupid, you can't even spell your own name! -- I think the ad deserves a closer look.

In America, it's not okay to imitate of the sorts of political propaganda fed to the schoolchildren of autocratic regimes. It's not acceptable or cute to espouse the political indoctrination of children in the classroom. And if you think it is, be prepared to face the same condemnation that Barack Hussein Obama's "Mmmm, mmmm, mmmm" song encountered.

What if I make an understandable mistake and write, "Lisa Specter?"

That ad most certainly deserves condemnation. Above all for being just plain stupid. Also for suggesting that she thinks Alaska voters (and probably all the rest of non-Member-of-Congress America, too) are 7 year-olds who need instruction on voting properly. I will very proudly be voting for Joe Miller.

I also like etoiledunord's suggestion. As long as she can't pull an Algore and argue that any version of Lisa qualifies as a vote for her. Murkowski Mouse?

Never liked her father either...

She could have been gracious and supported Miller and waited a couple of years and run for the other seat. She probably would have won it, too.

Go, Joe! Go away, Lisa!!

Wow. The ad is dumb, badly proofread, amateurish, condescending, and on a certain level appears to encourage children who cannot legally vote to ... vote. No wonder she lost in the primary.

The ad is meant to be amusing. Lissa Murkwski doesn't "espouse the political indoctrination of children." Please.

Wow.

That was creepy. This is moving in a Glen Close, bunny-boiling, you are not getting rid of me that easy sort of direction.

Wow- that gave the Ews.

This is really disgusting. These people really feel entitled. Are there any ads of hers out there that tell us what she stands for? This is a clumsy attempt to avoid the appearance condecension.

If her campaign is based on name recognition, it is politically ethical to siphon off that vote.

If people vote for a name, they deserve to be duped by a name.

Craigslist ad Id like to see..

Spokespersn/actress to play political candidate.

Must be Alaskan resident, over 35, your name will be be placed on the ballot for the purpose of confusing the vapid followers of the Murkowski legend.

Wow, what a creative and hilarious idea!

The old school write in gimimck was to hand out zillions of pencils with the write in candidates name on it. This is a stupid ad for a stupid candidate. She lost. It's over. The GOP nominee can win. She should get out of the race. This is just ego.

Is this going to be (1) sexist , (2) racist , or (3) nonabusory cultaceous ? But doesn't she just look the part ? Who was the earlier relative ? And why ? Ted was a good guy.
