Lessons in political marketing: Don't make ads that are so damn stupid.
Is U.S. Sen. John Cornyn's Big Bad John campaign video a big black eye for him?

His staff says absolutely not, painting the attention-getting video as a "winner." But Democrats are reacting with glee to the video, which includes Cornyn in a cowboy hat and fringed jacket, plus a rewrite of the song to include lines: "He rose to the top in just one term, kept Texas in power, made lesser states squirm. Big John. Big John. Big John. Yeah, Big Bad John."
He looks like a total idiot. Like what a Hollywood Jew would think a Texan looks like. What a freakin' joke.
Of Beckwith's suggestion that those who don't like the video are anti-Texan, Miller said, "I grew up in Amarillo and went to school in Austin. I don't know a whole lot of Texans who would look at that ... and think that it helps John Cornyn."
I don't know who would look at that and buy an insurance policy from him, much less vote for him for the senate.
