The Most Unconventional Campaign Ad of 2012 Cycle

Massachusetts congressional candidate Richard Tisei, one of the handful of libertarianish down ballot candidates I profiled for the November issue, has a new ad out that is, well, not an ad at all really. It's just waves crashing on a beach in Gloucester.  The ad was created by the consulting group Swiftcurrent. Here watch:

Tisei is locked in one of the tightest congressional battles in the country with scandal plagued Congressman John Tierney. Libertarian Daniel Fishman, one of the more serious candidates the LP is running this cycle, is the other candidate in the race.

because you need a break from all the campaign ads.... here's a campaign ad

Vaguely reminds me of the Mike Gravel ad from I think '08, where he stands next to a lake, stares at the camera, then throws a huge rock into the water and walks off.

Seems pretty insensitive considering Sandy just happened.
