    1. He doesn’t even say he was chief of staff in the section about cutting $127m. Most people will have no idea what his role was.

  1. Not a big fan of this ad….never talk about your weaknesses as you are acknowledging them.

    I liked the second half more than the first half, business owner, family man, working with governor…I would have put something in there about standing up to Feinstein…that is one of his best moments EVER!

  2. Nice guy. Awful ad. Surprised something this vague and amateurish is coming from the most level-headed, professional, and knowledgeable candidate. If you aren’t going to say anything of substance you can do it in a 15 second spot and not waste the war-chest on unnecessary airtime. Must be hoping Tapio continues to set the course for policy discussion and debate in the primary which will drag down Krebs with the sinking Tapio ship.

  3. I watched it again 4 hours later.

    This is by far the biggest gaffe of the election cycle if he actually spends money to air it.

  4. It is a slam dunk winner. It will appeal to the people who want a person like them- regular an hard working.

  5. One must admit the Krebs backers are easier on Dusty than vice-a-versa.
    Sort of fun having two candidates who are both quadruple Type-A personalities.

  6. It’s a good ad. He is taking his vulnerability head on. I think it was RFK who once said, “that if you have a problem, then shine a light on it….”

    1. Dusty’s supporters need to get out of the dusty bubble or he’s done.

      This ad will turn people off.

  7. It seems that the comments are either by Dusty backers or by Shantel backers and nobody undecided. Either that or it is like sushi-either you love it or you hate it!

    1. I am neither, but its a good ad. I am glad to see he finely got out of the elevator too….

  8. I liked the ad. It is uniquely “Dusty”. Put pretty much any other candidate in this ad and it is strange but it fits Dusty well. Just like the “Elevator” ad.

  9. I dislike the intentionally goofy demeanor Dusty projects. Rather than being endearing, I find it off-putting.

  10. He really comes across like he’s pretending to be what he thinks people want to see.

  11. I have watched it a couple times. I would have preferred a more traditional ad telling us about him and his accomplishments.

    He has some with being elected to PUC, standing up to Feinstein, helping on the budget deficit vs. leaning in on looking 15 and being 145lbs. quirky..might have come across better LATER …but not as people are tuning in and getting their first impression of you…remember a lot of people are just tuning in.

    1. “….plaid shirts and blue jeans”….. Well, I blame all of that on Thune….

  12. In the far corner, the “teenager” weighing in at a self-proclaimed 145 pounds, champion of the featherweight division, the Feather Duster! Washington won’t know what hit them…because they wont feel anything. Full Dusty!
