Behind the Ad: When the going gets weird, the weird turn pro

By Richard K. Barry

Who: The Jeff Wagner mayoralty campaign

Where: Minneapolis

What's going on: You'll forgive me for borrowing the Hunter S. Thompson quote above, but it seems to apply. Jeff Wagner is running for mayor in Minneapolis, and I guess he decided he's had about enough of something. In this ad, which Political Wire calls the best of the current campaign season, Mr. Wagner vents about the negative impact money has on elections.

Good on ya, Jeff.
