If you’re jamming out to WCAX’s election night coverage Tuesday, you might find yourself watching this 60-second ad from Vermont’s favorite lefty super PAC, Priorities PAC:

 

According to Priorities PAC consultant Todd Bailey, the group paid roughly $3000 to produce the ad and another $1500 to air it — just once — on election night. He said they may re-purpose it down the road to support the super PAC’s advocacy work in the Statehouse.

What kind of advocacy work, you ask? To put super PACs out of business, of course!

Well, not exactly.

Got something to say?

  1. Write in Annette Smith, who is taking no money for her campaign for Governor. There is another way, and it does not have to be legislated. Citizens are purchasing ads in newspapers and on the radio, they are putting up lawn signs and car magnets. Write-in Annette Smith and support the candidate who cannot be bought http://annettesmithforvermontg…

  2. Says Bailey, “. . . there’s a belief within Priorities PAC that if you don’t fight fire with fire, Vermont is likely to end up with candidates all from one side of the political spectrum.”
    Huh? That’s exactly what we have now. A one-party, one ideology dominated state. And their SuperPAC spending is attempting to preserve exactly that. Bailey’s and Stannard’s “logic” is idiotic.
    These hypocrites should be ashamed of themselves.
