Adding ads
A couple of new TV ads have surfaced in the gubernatorial race. Independent Anthony Pollina has his first - a 30-second ad that is minimal on the camera action. Pollina stands in front of a building, telling viewers: "I’m Anthony Pollina, independent for governor, founder of Rural Vermont, adviser to Bernie Sanders."
He has not chosen to characterize himself as a founding director of the foundering Vermont Milk Co. or that Sanders does not feel passionate enough to back him - financially or spiritually. Pollina goes on: "A lot of folks are telling me nobody's listening to them in Montpelier. I’ve been working with Vermonters for 30 years and I'm listening. Like you, I believe that every Vermonter deserves a good job, affordable home and health care no matter what, and we need to support our family farms. These are tough times. Time for a governor who stands up for you."
Meanwhile, Republican Gov. Jim Douglas is airing an ad with testimonials proclaiming support from Democrats. He does not mention that Vermonters don't register by party, so you have to wonder under what definition some of these people are Democrats. Holly Pembroke: "I support Jim Douglas because he understands the needs of our growing family."
Harold Howrigan: "He’s been good for farmers, good for consumers, good for business."
Frank Cioffi: "Vermont needs the common sense, bipartisan leadership of Jim Douglas."
Bev Mayo: "You can count on Jim Douglas."
Mitch Montagne: "He tries to understand, I think he does. That’s why I’m voting for Jim Douglas."
He has a heavy Franklin County presence in the ad with Horwigan, Cioffi and Montagne. Democrat Gaye Symington will be on the air through the election. "Expect to see something new," spokesman Michael Carrese said. - Terri Hallenbeck
