Blakeman NY1 Ads Are Not Just Cheezy there are inappropriate 

 (http://www.nydailynews.com/blogs/dailypolitics/2008/09/rudy-mikebruce.html#comments)

 I gotta say I think it is in extremely poor taste to including video featuring the destruction of the world trade center in a campaign ad. Maybe if this guy were a fireman or a cop and had a history associated with ground zero it could be appropriate. Maybe if he was a veteran who joined the arm to fight terrorism after 911 it would be appropriate. But to just gratuitiously feature it in a lame attmept to grasp at Giuliani and Bloomberg's mantle of leadership is - well lame and quite a stretch.  To do so a day before 911 is insulting and opens this guy's judgment to serious question.

Blakeman's lame ad
written by mark alesse , September 12, 2008

What was he thinking? And who produced that lame ad? If that's his idea of leadership, he's got a lot to learn.

I saw him on New York 1 and for a career politician I really was not impressed with they way he carried himself. I would have expected more polish and better answers.

i don't even get what the ad is about. There's no mention of what Blakeman has done or why anyone should care.
