Let America Work, the super PAC trying to re-elect Wisconsin Sen. Ron Johnson and stop former Sen. Russ Feingold from reclaiming his seat, senses that voters in the Badger State are sick of this election and fed up with Washington. How can a political consultant harness that anti-Beltway sentiment and convince voters to support the incumbent? The obvious answer: cow poop.
"Enough of the crap" says the narrator over a literally steaming cow-pie, seemingly disgusted at political mudslinging from all sides. But instead of a "throw the bums out" message in service of an outsider candidate, the narrator pivots and trains fire on Democrats.
"When Democrats controlled everything in Washington, it was, well, you know." A fisheye lens then shows a cow's nostrils, which doesn't exactly explain what it is we all supposedly know.
Thankfully, the narrator quickly reminds us, because "career politician Russ Feingold was there: terrorism, job losses and premiums 25 percent higher with Obamacare."
We've already seen one congressional campaign drop F-bombs to try to oust an incumbent. Now we see a super PAC drop something else in hopes of saving one.
This Ad Is a Steaming Pile, Literally

From F-Bombs to Cow Pies
Of course, Ron Johnson has been there in the Senate for the last six years. But like other Republican campaigns expecting a Donald Trump loss, Johnson's allies offer him up as a healthy check on a President Hillary Clinton: "Feingold just votes the party line, that's why we need Ron Johnson. To cut the crap, and keep Hillary Clinton and the Washington politicians from running wild."We've already seen one congressional campaign drop F-bombs to try to oust an incumbent.
