National Review continues its mix of corporate advocacy groups, conservative movement doodads, things for staid hobbyists, and goods for old people. The New Republic has a few ads which can be transferred to the National Review, though the corporate lobbyist groups tend to have a “Green Wash”ing sheen that is not necessary for the National Review audience.
The ad in the National Review with the most current resonance is the Newsmax — Sarah Palin deal. Just $4.97 for the book and four issues of Newsmax. What a Deal!
The relevant ad for your consideration in the New Republic is that giant rhaspberry from “America Future Fund”, showing 36 Congress Members who were the “Losers of 1994”, with the rejoinder at the end of a comparison between now and then (citizens rose up at town hall meetings) and the final rejoinder “Keep it up Liberals. You have nothing to lose but your majorities.” It is interesting to note quite a few of these Congress members resurfaced quite easily — Jay Inslee and Maria Cantwell pop up at me due to my geography. I suppose this is reaching the elite opinion makers of, say, the staff of Blanche Lincoln — the same type who were in 1994 reading The New Republic article “No Exit” by Betsy Mccaughey under the watchful editorship of Andrew Sullivan.
