Ralph Stanley Cuts Radio Ad For Obama
Via TPM: “A Virginia Democrat sends over a new radio spot that Obama is airing in the southern part of the state — it stars homegrown bluegrass legend Ralph Stanley vouching for Obama’s values and character to the tune of some banjo pickin’ in the background.”
Here’s the ad transcript from TPM:
“Howdy, friends. This is Ralph Stanley, and I think I know a little something about the families around here,” the spot runs.
“Barack’ll cut taxes for everyday folks — not big business — so you’ll have
a little more money in your pocket at the end of the year,” he continues. “I also know Barack is a good man. A father and devoted husband, he values personal responsibility and family first.”
Can Stanley bring out the votes?

This is brilliant. Dig recent New Yorker article, VA’s Southwestern hills. The Bubbas are waiting to go blue again in force, they just need someone to push them over the cliff. Ralph Stanley? Maybe.
