63. Ah yes, the BUZZFEEDification of information.

I see nothing particularly BLISTERING there and I don't think anything will be OBLITERATED. It's a pretty good ad, but one must have decades of cultural information in order to understand it. I think to many, if not most people, it will just be "Wait, wut? Why is some woman who got raped complaining about Ted Somebody? And some politician? Whatevs..."

In order for a BLISTERING ad to OBLITERATE, it must leave no questions. There are too many questions here for it to be effective on anyone other than the choir.

Here's a list of political ads, some of which were BLISTERING and some of which helped OBLITERATE the competition:

From what I'm seeing, Ms. Davis is running a terrific campaign and the other guy just sucks. This ad certainly won't hurt, but it won't make any difference.
