Leadership for a change?

When I think about State Senator and Mayoral Candidate Ed Murray, the first things that comes to mind are Martin Luther King Jr., John F. Kennedy, or Franklin Delano Roosevelt.

Voting to facilitate the relocation of the Hornets to New Orleans is just like leading Civil Rights movement, averting the Cuban missile crisis, or navigating the Great Depression!

In all seriousness, this is well-produced opening ad for man with no name recognition, no charisma, and without a particularly exciting record of accomplishment.



I think that his slogan, "Leadership for a change," is excellent. His new logo is also pretty fresh.

And he's launched a website.

The ad above will run for three weeks and cost $100,000 by itself.

So Ed Murray is really running for Mayor.

A few weeks ago, the first batch of campaign finance filings were reported on by the T-P. Murray had $131,600 as of the end of July.

Murray's fundraising either accelerated like crazy in August or he's making a big bet that it will soon.

Hat tip to Papa Bear for tracking down Murray's video so quickly.
