Ladies and Gentlemen,
George McGovern.
If you need a refresher on EFCA, and how unions expect President
Obama and his congressional supermajority to get 'er done, my
mid-year take
is here. McGovern's involvement isn't a surprise to anyone
who's been following his recent career, though. In March, he
blasted
"economic paternalism" that was making it harder to run a small
business. In the summer he started attacking
EFCA. Hence his appearance in
this ad by the Center for Union Facts.
But... is it an effective ad? As Barack Obama might say, he was
11 years old when McGovern ran for president. This is more of a
curiosity than a blistering attack, but it gives me the cover to
post some of these gonzo ads from his 1972 race and performance-art
1984 race.
