Voice on Tea Party Candidate's Ad Wasn't Morgan Freeman's

(Nov. 2) -- The campaign of North Carolina Republican congressional candidate B.J. Lawson said it was a little surprised when actor Morgan Freeman -- who supported Obama in 2008 -- agreed to perform a voice-over for its political ad but never questioned whether the actor had really lent his distinctive voice to the tea-party-backed politician. "A lot of people are changing their minds right now. We thought, 'Maybe he's just really into guys that are strict constitutionalists.' It didn't seem implausible," Lawson campaign spokesman Martin Avila told AOL News today. The problem, of course, is ...

Why I Love the EMILY's List 'Mama Grizzlies' Ad

LONDON -- Well, ladies, at the risk of being the only gal in town who thinks that bear suits are where it's at, let me go out on a limb and say that I loved the EMILY's List ad about Sarah Palin's "mama grizzlies." In case you missed this week's installment of Girl Fight, allow me to sum it up.

DNC's Aggressive New Ad Attacks Republicans' Defense of Wall Street

A new television spot released Friday by the Democratic National Committee presents an aggressive populist message and attempts to connect Republicans with unpopular banks and financial institutions.
