VIDEO: DNC compares GOP to ‘Survivor’

Well this is going to get some attention today. The Democratic National Committee is up with a well, interesting, web ad that compares the current cast of Republican leaders to a cast of survivor.

Check it out:

The usual web ad disclaimer is necessary here. Web ads never air on television. Therefore, they tend to be more outlandish or eye grabbing in hopes of getting the cable channels to play them throughout the day on their newscasts. I am still reading the papers, and I have already seen this ad twice on MSNBC’s “Morning Joe,” so that aspect of it appears to be working.

I don’t know, though, something about this ad makes me feel a bit uneasy. There is no question that the GOP is in the midst of an identity crisis. But that much is obvious, so do we really need mock “Survivor” videos to remind us?

What do you think? Sound off in the comments section below.
