The “future is so bright” is the phrase my friends and I utter to discreetly point out the d-bag that feels it necessary to wear shades indoors.
On that note, I heard Larry brag that he was voted least likely to be a d-bag politician in his senior poll.
It’s a somewhat bold effort at something beyond the typical, but I’m not sure the individual talking points really bring anything home for him; in fact, they all seem to raise questions that are probably troubling, at least a bit, to every constituency.
But, as a travel and tourism video, great! Let’s visit Seattle.
It’s amusing that Phillips is repping Safeco Field when in 2007 he apologized for his role in the 1995 vote to overrule the stadium vote saying he “deeply regret[s] it.” http://seattletimes.nwsource.com/html/localnews/2003572806_sonics15m.html
Maybe Phillips shouldn’t take credit for something has publicly apologized for???
Seems like Larry’s memory isn’t so good.
Two years ago he was “regretting” Safeco. Now, he’s doing photo ops in front of the stadium.
Hmmm…somethings off here.
Since when is talking about how great we are here the same as taking credit for the accomplishments? Do people really think Larry is trying to say he made pyramid or wine personally?
Wasn’t it Dow and his staff who tried to take credit for saying things were awesome here?
I like the ad, i think it’s innovative and interesting. I wish more of the other candidates had interesting ads.
Note to ross: stop talking to camera it’s not compelling.
Note to dow: I’m not with you.
um, wow
Seems positive and upbeat – not a bad idea in these times. And I loved that song back in the day!
Mikey’s right, unlike all these other posters…I like the positive and upbeat attitude during this time darkness.
@7,
I don’t know Fred…I kinda like the darkness during this time of darkness.
To Anon and Fact Check: I’m glad you both get to live with the luxury of never having changed your opinion on anything in life… sorry that Larry’s not as fortunate, but I’m happy that he now is proud of Safeco Field and I think his commercial is great.
Oh great, someone else with my name is posting.
This ad is great it bring out the up beat character of Larry Phillips. He really is a true King County man at heart. He’s got my vote!
I dont know if its just me but i really like this ad. it highlights all the positives of king county and brings about a different and more exciting perspective, especially when compared to Dow’s pretty lame ad and Ross’ powerpoint presentation
Didn’t Sarah Palin register the political wink trademark.
Seriously, I really don’t wish Larry any ill but the person Larry is trying to portray in ad is kind of hard for me to reconcile what Larry’s like in person.
However, most voters won’t be burdened with my perspectives. It just might work.
If I know anything about positive and SUCCESSFUL campaigns, this ad confirms in my mind that Larry is the man for this position…
@10: You don’t own the name. Lo siento.
Vote for Phillips b/c King County is great?? What?
This is an economic development promotional video — an awkward one at that — not a political ad.
Josh, it’s possible to post photos without making them hyperlinks. I think it makes people think they are supposed to click on the photo to see the video, which just leads to a bigger photo.
Constructive feedback only because I love all that you do.
Have you posted a video for Ross Hunter’s ads? I haven’t seen any, and I was surprised by your endorsement.
I quite like this ad as well- very awesome….
Wow! OBAMA!? If he believes Larry is the man for the position, you certainly have my VOTE!(: LARRY ALL THE WAY!
Can I just say, in reference to #18, that I am very surprised by publicola’s endorsement of Hunter.
Did you know that Hunter planned to cut funding for programs like Planned Parenthood?!?!? Not okay….
Even I agree with President Obama, if I ran that ad, I’d be president…
The Phillips ad doesn’t make me want to vote for him. I think he comes off as smarmy. Constantine is suddenly progessive, and a protege of Greg Nickels. Hunter is anti labor, Fred Jarret’s just plain odd, and Susan Hutchinson claims to be non partisan, despite her contributions to some of the most odious right wingers out there.
Stan Lippman’s been disbarred from practicing law. Lobdell has as much charisma as a brick. That leaves us with only one choice ,folks: It’s time to elect Goodspaceguy.
Lighten up on the ad, people.. sheesh. I personally like seeing an upbeat politician.
And I think the “comment of the day” could be taking what Larry said out of context from that 2007 Seattle Times article. And even if he does regret the situation, does that mean he can’t have pride for Safeco?
Thank about it folks, how big of a deal is that? Really?
Maybe Larry could sign on to do Lotto commericials after the primary.
Yeah he’s a dork, but he’s my dork. All you haters out there that don’t like the ad can kiss my fat, white, hairy ass.
He appears to be going after the people who fall for cornballs.
It might work. The older voters might really like this style of cornball boosterism. If they ever see it. Maybe its running between the viagra ads on the network news.
Where were the Seafair pirates? And JP Patches?
