Epidemic: Dan Gelber TV Ad
The first Dan Gelber for Attorney General TV ad. The ad has the feel of an episode of Law & Order. This ad isn't as revolutionary as Gelber's "My Big Brother" internet spot. The "Big Brother" ad was the best spot of the 2010 political season.

Florida needs Dan Gelber to be the next attorney general.
Pam Bondi is the Bill McCollum second term.
Pam Bondi has hired Bill McCollum's spokesperson, has retained his lobbying aparatus, and will lead the Attorney General's office in the same way.
In this way she does not bring an outsider's vantage point to the office.
Her limited experience makes her lible of being co-opted by the forces now entrenched in state government.
The Office of the attorney general needs to be partisan free, a place where the laws of the state are carried out and where politics is second to justice.
Pam Bondi is not the right person to be the next attorney general.
Vote for Dan Gelber, tell your friends about Dan Gelber, let's help Florida cleanse itself from Bill McCollum.
Marc, I'm gonna go out on a limb and guess that you are a Dan Gelber supporter. I maybe wrong. Your comment didn't make it clear which candidate you're voting for.
Here is a thought, help me flush it thru...
The reason corruption has overtaken our politics is because we no longer have excellent people in politics. That is, the trait of those extraordinary folks who entered public life for a higher calling is no longer the common denominator of politicians.
Our society is entering into a mature faze, where mediocre people enter politics to seek their fortune just as they would enter into any other trade to seek wealth. So, if they need to cut a corner here or there, it is all part of the commercial transaction they are plying. A higher calling, a feeling of responsibility to society, to the silent orphans and widows in our community, does not enter into our present days politicians.
Confronted with a decision where their personal interest may be afflicted by the doing of what is right for the community, the politician immediately feels conflicted, simply they do not know which master to serve. They recognize the are foresaking their private gain for the betterment of the society, and this, this is contrary to the commerce of their engagement. Being Excellent, like we encourage our children to be, is secondary to maximizing the returns on their political tenure.
The United States is a mature democracy. The democratization of creditials, like university degrees and professional licenses, has made it more common for people of common courage and principles to mimmick people of another sort and trick th electorate into allowing them to ply their craft on the public stage. It is for this reason that the term "politician" is a perjorive by default.
In how she has achieved her candidacy and in how she has surrounded herself with the corrupt, lobbyist-laddened political machine of the extremely partisan Bill McCollum, Pam Bondi is a person of common courage and common intellect.
Pam Bondi is not excellent, she does not deserve to be a political leader in our state.
Vote for Dan Gelber!
