A little something to suck on before Super Tuesday
ED’S NOTE: This post reflects my interest as a marketing student in political advertising, search-engine optimization, and viral marketing as it is used on the campaign trail. No candidates or political groups are endorsed. The opinions expressed here about the advertisements are mine and in no way reflect the opinions of my employers.
Hold on to your lunch.
Mitt Romney’s camp is trying to instruct Alaskans how to vote in an advertisement that seems to have been inspired by Coldplay. Alaska is one of the 10 states holding contests March 6, the much-anticipated Super Tuesday.
Meanwhile, Rick Santorum wants to be your neighbor in this ad that may feature a sweater vest from the closet of the late-Mr. Rogers. I jest: The sweater is obviously from the Rick Santorum Collection on sale now at J.C. Penney Kmart.

When I'm not editing copy for USA TODAY, I write an occasional short story or poem. My work has appeared in Calliope and the feminist journal So to Speak, and I'm a regular flash-fiction contributor to Paragraph Planet and Doorknobs & Bodypaint. Also on occasion, I interview editors for The Review Review, a comprehensive guide to literary journals and the people who produce them.
