In what appears to be the final installment of the wildly popular Delbert Hosemann for Secretary of State ad campaign the Dorthy finally get’s Mississippi Secretary of State Delbert Hosemann’s name right, and the crowd goes wild.
Actually Hosemann looks surprised and he plays his part well.
We were surprised
The whole series of ads have been great and memorable
A+ for bringing the series to a close in style

The DuPree campaign for Governor is up with a couple :15 spots running as bookends.
Never been a huge fan of that strategy (it seems like :30 is usually rushing it) but the ads are pretty good.
“Color”
“For Our Children”

Max Phillips has released his second ad of the year in pursuit of the Republican nomination for Commissioner of Agriculture.

Lucien comes out with a slightly better than last time but probably not that effective because we did not hear from the candidate second effort.
This untitled spot uses a mix of still photos and b-roll using a narrator to make the case that Lucien is the best candidate for Treasurer.
We are not sure that we don’t agree that Lucien may in fact be the best choice and he did a dang good job raising money we just fear that his production work has been so poor that it may hurt his chances to actually win this race.
Could we be seeing a tragic story of a campaign that does not end up where it should simply because of ad quality?
We will know in 8 days.

As expected after his 2 opponents dropped their commercials in the last couple of days, Lee Yancey is out with his own ad entitled “Pennies” we would rank the spot somewhere between Lucien and Lynn for production quality and message.
From what we hear about this race on the ground it seems that Lucien still has the upper hand because he will have weight of message, Lynn has the best ads and Lee has the ground troops. Now that the ad war has started we will officially rate this race as the “one to watch” on August 2nd because it is absolutely unclear who will prevail, we smell a runoff brewing and whatever 2 emerge will have a lot of work to do to get their voters back to the polls, and that’s where Lee may have the advantage having run a very grassroots focused campaign, if he can make the runoff.
How will it end up on August 2nd is anyone’s guess right now, there is no consensus among any of our contacts as to who may be leading or even who has the momentum, Lucien raised the most money and that is almost always a rock solid indicator but he has been out done in the ad department by both opponents although not by any huge margin that would swing the voters dramatically.
We are throwing our hands up in confusion and will be sitting back, popping some popcorn, and watching this race with extreme interest.
But for now we are going to sit back and enjoy the great efforts that all of these candidates have put forth in pursuit of this office so far the race has been classy, with the only real mistake being Lee Yancey’s horrible horrible signs.
So folks here it is, “Pennies” starring Mr. Lee Yancey

A pretty good spot up from Johnny Dupree for Governor, good camera work and a strong message, probably not going to win many points with the readers of this blog but we like ads and this one is pretty good.
