We're still likely a few months off from seeing TV commercials for Texas candidates, but consider this a sneak-peek.
Spotrunner.com is a fast growing Los Angeles-based outfit that offers pre-made generic political campaign ads for candidates with limited resources. They'll plug in any candidate's name and photo. Starting price is $499.
You can check out some of the different templates the group offers, most aimed at helping with the election of "John Smith" to represent the good people of "Anytown."
There's even two ads tailor-made for Texas campaigns. No other state-specific ads are currently up on the site.
One of the Texas ads talks up how John Smith would uphold our state's tradition of electing "strong leaders." The other assures the viewer that Johnny will rise above "business-as-usual Austin politics."
There's other ads that could get some play in Texas: an ominous one about border security, a grouchy one about taxpayer abuse, and, our favorite, a goofy one that's sort of anti-golf.
