Sponsor: Friends of Jared Polis
Type: TV commercial on local cable and network outlets
Script: “We hire mercenaries and line the corporate pockets of war profiteers who don’t want to see the war end. It’s time to put an end to this war that never should have been.”
Key images: Polis putting on a flak jacket, standing against a wall in Iraq as an armed soldier walks down a nearby street
Analysis: With a Thanksgiving trip to Iraq, Polis is trying to make the war the key piece of the campaign. It’s a smart strategy in the liberal 2nd Congressional District — as long as his inconsistencies about the trip’s purpose and funding don’t blow up in his face.
