While we’ve all become painfully familiar with the advertising campaigns for the presidential candidates, it’s time for a final send-off to some of the more bizarre attack ads for Congressional races in 2008: The mother of all attacks, of course, is the Elizabeth Dole “There Is No God” ad, complete with an inserted Exorcist voice, which was soon followed by her opponent ‘s Lloyd Bentsian rebuttal; in Kentucky, challenger Bruce Lunsford went for a surreal lobotomy morph of Mitch McConnell in this spot; Virgil Goode of Virginia capitalized on the electorate’s fear of beards in this Law & Order spoof of his opponent; points for originality go to this now-infamous spot from Colorado that portrays “Boulder liberal” Mark Udall as the type who would hot-box a Volkswagen; and there’s always Jean Schmidt of Ohio, who claims in this fever dream that her opponent might just inject you with the AIDS virus. Alas, the airwaves will now be a fraction less polluted.
