Errol Morris’ political switch ads

As I mentioned earlier this fall, Errol Morris has produced several political ads in the vein of his Apple Switch ads. The 30-second spots feature folks that voted for Bush in 2000 that are voting for Kerry in 2004.

John Kerry Switch ads by Errol Morris

They’re presented in Morris’ signature style, regular folks talking directly to the camera against a white background about why they’re switching. I find these highly effective, but I (and many of you) are already planning to vote for Kerry. Some of these are going to show on TV (I think), but how can we get these ads in front of undecided-but-leaning-Republican voters in swing states? Paging George Soros…surely you’ve got enough money to get these suckers on Fox News during primetime…
