In her story today, Patricia Lopez describes how the presidential campaign in Iowa spills over the border into southern Minnesota. That includes a blizzard of ads landing in Minnesotan’s living rooms.
Here’s a sample of the ads that the leading candidates are airing in Iowa. Take a look at them and then weigh in with your reactions.
Here’s Obama’s ad on education, titled “Chances I Had.”
Here is John Edwards’s “20 Generations” ad, in which he seeks to establish himself as a spirited fighter against greed and corruption, in behalf of the little guy.
Here are two Clinton ads. This one is called “New Beginning.”
And this one features Retired Gen. Wesley Clark.
On the Republican side, Mitt Romney and Mike Huckabee are battling it out — in the polls and on the airwaves.
Here’s Mitt Romney’s ad attacking Huckabee on immigration.
And here’s another Romney ad called “Not Politically Correct,” in which he attempts to reassure conservatives on some key issues.
Here’s Huckabee talking about securing the borders.
And here’s the ad featuring actor Chuck Norris that no doubt helped people warm up to Huckabee.
What do you think about these ads?
Oh, these ads, “debates” and campaign are a fraud, as I assert in my most recent post at “Rudely Stamped”: http://www.rudelystamped.blogspot.com.
The Strib is silly for even covering them, and Minnesotans commit an absurbidity when they think these candidates are anything but venal and/or politically impotent.

Chuck 4 Huckabee? Say that 3 times fast.
Maybe he identifies with the ’subservient wife’ concept.
