Chris Hayes: “this ad is a masterpiece”
by digby
Since he released his fabulous ad on Monday, Carl Sciortino’s campaign to fill Ed Markey’s seat in Massachusetts has shot to the attention of progressives all over the nation. It’s gone viral with hundreds of thousands of views on Youtube and tons of attention in the media.
Here’s Chris Hayes’ commentary on All In, which features the whole ad:
Sciortino needs help getting this ad on the air. I think you’ll agree that it’s awesome and deserves to be seen by the voters in his district before the primary. Blue America, Alan Grayson, Jared Polis, Raúl Grijalva and Keith Ellison, People for the American Way Voters Alliance and the Congressional Progressive Caucus’ Progressive Action PAC have joined together to raise funds for it by sponsoring a contest to win an original Eric Clapton platinum award plaque for his Unplugged album. Please donate what you can — you’ll have an equal chance whether you donate $5 or $50 — and you’ll be helping get that fabulous ad on TV.
BTW: Chris Hayes is going to be on Bill Maher’s show tonight with Billy Crystal, David Frum and Joy Behar. Should be good!
Update: Here’s Carl and his Dad on Chris Jansing’s show:
