Branstad Plays The Nostalgia Card
Ex-Gov. Terry Branstad (R) is up with his first TV ad of the race, a 60-second spot produced by Alfano Communications and entitled "Ready."
The spot features a slew of Branstad supporters praising Branstad as a proven commodity, interspersed with a couple of clips of Branstad speeches in which the ex-gov. lays out some of his economic goals.
"You know, I'd like to start today with one simple question. Are you ready for a comeback," asks Branstad at the top of the ad, in keeping with his current "Iowa Comeback Tour" theme, through which Branstad seeks to tout his long record as gov. (he served 4 terms, from '83 to '99) and evoke positive memories of his tenure among the IA electorate, while seeking to cast himself as a capable alternative to Gov. Chet Culver (D).
Branstad, the frontrunner in a GOP race that also includes '02 candidate/'06 LG nominee/businessman Bob Vander Plaats (R) and state Rep. Rod Roberts (R), looks at present to be a formidable challenger to Culver, who has been weighed down by relatively low approval ratings and economic concerns among IA voters.
