Well at least not all political advertisements in Alaska suck.

Yeah, that's probably not going to get him any votes, but at least it's not boring.

Forrest Dunbar is a Democrat running for Congressman, and official Alaska fossil, Don Young's House seat.

Young has been in office since before they invented dirt, and nobody likes his cranky old ass, but getting him out of Washington has proven an impossible task.

Here is what was written about Dunbar back in October:  

Dunbar is 29-years-old and this is his first time running for office. He split his childhood between Eagle and Cordova, and he came back to Alaska after spending some time in the Peace Corps, in law school, and on Capitol Hill. Part of the reason he’s running now is because of frustration with a highly polarized Congress. 

Dunbar says he knows it’s an uphill battle. He’s only raised about $20,000 so far. Young has more than half a million dollars in his campaign account, and he represents the dominant party in the state, but Dunbar thinks that with all the attention on the Senate race, there might be space to experiment with his campaign strategy and make inroads that way. 

“Some of the more traditional forms of media, which are traditionally where you spend a lot of that money, are going to be purchased up by the Senate campaigns. So, $600,000 sounds like a lot, but it’s going to pale in comparison to the $20 or $30 million that are going to be spent on either side of the Senate campaign. And I think that sort of creates an opportunity to run a more grassroots campaign, to run a more social-media-oriented campaign, to connect with voters in different ways,” he said.

I'm assuming that his idea of a more social-media-oriented campaign includes ads like the one up above, which will get him attention, but not a lot of support.

His challenger for the Democratic nomination is Matt Moore, who on the surface seems to be a more traditional candidate.

I don't think either one has much of a chance unless my friend Dennis Zaki wants to reveal what he knows about Congressman Young.

Hang on I have a phone call to make.
