Alvin Greene Rocks The House! New Ad Is A Scream

by Smitty (h/t BlueGrass Pundit) Full props to Greene. You’ve got a campaign so uphill as to be purely vertical, so what are you going to do? Prep for your follow-on gig as an entertainment mogul or hip-hop personality. Maybe he and the Lonely Island can collaborate on some John Kerry work, for example.

Will Folks: Nikki Haley for Governor! (Because, Hey, I Tapped That Stuff)
