If this campaign would have shelled out a couple million months ago to hire a professional team to make a few commercials on the main themes of the war and economy we would be much farther ahead in the polls.
Look at Huckabee he has far less money but his commercials are light years ahead of ours.
It takes talented professionals to get the job done. Amongst others a winning political ad team needs a great director, cinematographer, political communications expert, writer(s) and production manager.
The campaign could still do this if they wanted to. It doesn't take a long time to work up a world class 30 second commercial if you put the right team together. One day or less to brain storm the story board, one day or less to shoot and one day in post production.
To give an example from the music industry of how talented professionals can get good results quickly, look at the Traveling Wilburys (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sNEFSA7sKXA&feature=related). They wrote and recorded an album in about 10 days.
Heck there have been musicians out there putting their heart and soul and resources into recording great songs for this campaign with top end production values.
Why can't the campaign management get their head around this and do it?!
