i'd heard about that ad but this was the 1st time i saw it. while definitely skillful & clever, i expected more policy & issue 'echos' than just catch phrase echos. i bet if someone searched theyd find brown saying the same phrases, other than the 'i ran a business' part.
No doubt. I think this says more about possibly having the same speech writer than anything else. I just thought it was a clever ad even if it does support Brown.
