Coming soon to a cable channel near you: 3rd District Republican congressional candidate Jerry Labriola's new ad.
The 30-second spot uses the metaphor of a maze to tap into fears, documented by recent polls, that Americans are deeply dissatisfied with the direction of the nation and the pace of the economic recovery.
"Have you ever felt you were just stuck and can't seem to make any progress?" states the ad, while images of people walking toward walls flash on the screen. "Around every turn there's a dead end."
The maze morphs into Democratic incumbent Rosa DeLauro's head (she's wearing her hipster glasses, by the way."
The spot ends with Labriola using a chain saw to cut a doorway through a wall, and promising "no more mazes, no more obtsacles, no more dead ends" He pledges to "cut our way out of this mess."
