The commente...I like the comment on BCL (I think). The commenter made a good point that the conservatives have the petty, bitter audience sewed up so best not to go in a different direction . . . I'm paraphrasing.<br /><br />But I think it is a good point. You can have hard-hitting ads at any point. This is the "Hi, I'm Michael" ad. An introduction to reassure Canadians after the conservatives tried to all him the devil incarnate.<br /><br />The same commenter - to give credit - also rightly pointed out that there really isn't anything to go after in this ad without sounding petty.<br /><br />And to the criticisms I have heard from the furious conservatives says as much. <br /><br />I think it is a really quite well done ad for the vast audience of people who care and who vote, but aren't scouring the news today. They'll see an ad like this and feel a bit more comfortable or at least willing to hear more. That's all they need at this point.<br /><br />When the conservatives come out with guns blazing on an ad like this, it simply reduces them to the "persuadable" audience . . .

They reinforce their negative image, which is what we want to highlight anyways, with we can do better.
