A2: Governor’s Race

By

Writing on Politico, Ben Smith reviews Rick Snyder’s “One Tough Nerd” Super Bowl ad. The Ann Arbor businessman is running for the GOP nomination for governor: “The ad seeks to add a narrative to Snyder’s wonky profile, noting that he started reading Fortune at the age of eight, and that ‘his ten-point plan to reinvent Michigan is so detailed that, well, it’s likely no politician could even understand it.’ The ad by the well-financed Snyder should get some attention for a lesser-known outsider looking to beat well-established local political figures including Attorney General Mike Cox.” A video of the ad is included in the post.
