Phil thinks Utah state senate candidate/grandma Linda Paulson’s campaign ad featuring a decidedly unhip rap song is “bizarre.”
Well, sign me up for politicians not taking themselves too seriously. If I’ve seen one political ad with a blue-blazer-sans-necktie-wearing candidate talking to a bunch of guys on a construction site or a factory floor over patriotic music and serious-sounding-but-meaningless campaign promises, I’ve seen a thousand.
I don’t know anything about Linda Paulson — other than that she has a sense of humor and that her rap-infused ad lays out political positions that are 100 percent unobjectionable to me.
For all we know, Gramma Linda might end up being the Titan of the Utah Senate and the second coming of Margaret Thatcher. Or, yes, we may never hear from her again. But don’t forget that Paulson raps that she “tried to get another conservative to run; nobody could do it, so I’m getting it done.”
I don’t know about you, Phil, but that sounds like much-needed citizenship to me.
