Weird Florida billionaire and Democratic Senate candidate Jeff Greene has released what appears to be one of the more focus-grouped campaign ads in recent memory: this mess, which says the word "jobs" over and over for a fierce half-minute.

We have another Alabama candidate making insane campaign commercials. This one is Rick Barber, the Tea Party favorite in a looming congressional runoff, and he's trying to convince several exhumed Founding Fathers to revolt against the United States of America!

South Carolina Republican gubernatorial candidates Gresham Barrett and Nikki Haley face a runoff after neither won a majority in Tuesday's primary, and their new ads are already rolling out! In this one, Barrett rather unsubtly points out Haley's rumored affairs.

Today, Gail Collins touches on the demented logic of those viral Alabama campaign ads. (Dale Peterson! Tim James!) Basically, if your ad is outlandish enough, no one will care that your candidate is equally ridiculous. Ugh, we helped those people.
