It was the exact same ad as earlier in the week when I said it was underwhelming and disappointing and so forth... except that they had a banner saying "Hook 'em Horns."
As the National Journal put it, Kay needs more than this... she may need a hail mary (link). Excerpt follows...
SEN. KAY BAILEY HUTCHISON: It's a cliche for a candidate to say they are running like they're 10 points behind, but in this case, it's probably warranted. Hutchison has not gained a lot of traction in her bid against TX Gov. Rick Perry (R), and time is running out before the state's March 2 primary.
Hutchison will be rooting hard for her UT Longhorns tonight, and TX voters watching the game will see a 30-second spot in the middle of the game touting her candidacy. The ad is much like one Hutchison released earlier this week, accusing Perry of advocating for more toll roads. The only difference we spotted: A "Hook 'em Horns" sign in the background.
Is this the "game-changer" that campaign manager Terry Sullivan promised? Hutchison may need a longer hail mary to actually score with TX GOP voters.
This should actually make Rick's peeps very very nervous... Kay being so far down and yet being so flush with money most likely will mean that he is about to endure the worst 6 weeks of his political life in terms of negative attacks on television...

Hey now, campaign characters. Be nice. I know a lot of you on both sides, so I don't want any overly foul language, personal attacks on anyone other than the candidates themselves, or other party fouls. I will moderate the heck out of you if you start breaking the bounds of civility.
