Though we don’t necessarily approve of his choice of candidates, we wanted to do something that would make Bill Fletcher proud. That said, here’s our version of an ad that should be on TV:

NARRATOR: Don’t you wonder why Bob Clement is always angry at you?

[silent, slow motion, clip of angry Bob; scolding viewers]

NARRATOR: Well, Bob Clement gets angry when he’s behind. Remember how angry he was when he was losing to Lamar Alexander back in 2002?

[angry Bob; scolding Lamar]

NARRATOR: Well, after running for six different offices thirteen times over the last thirty-five years, Bob Clement is behind again. He’s behind in the polls [flash results of Aug. 2nd election] and behind on the issues. He wants us to stay mired in the old politics of the South. He doesn’t even think Nashville is a great city. [fake book cover of Bob Clement's Plan to Take Nashville from So-So to Okay] Maybe he’s thinking of an older Nashville. [still of Bill Boner]

[cut to Karl, on his favorite bridge]

KARL DEAN: I’m Karl Dean, and I know Nashville is a great city. And I aim to keep it that way in the 21st century by improving our public schools and public safety. Competent, efficient government will help keep our taxes low and our potential high. Vote for me, Karl Dean, on Sept. 11th.
