Best Green Party Political Ads and Campaign Videos

As I noted yesterday, since my initial post on the year's best political ads for third party and independent candidates, a ton of new ads and campaign videos have been released by candidates across the country, and across the political spectrum, for elected offices at all levels of government.  In a series of posts this week, Poli-Tea will be highlighting some of the best new ads out there, but organized by party or political affiliation.  Today's focus is on Green Party candidates.  Later this week, I'll feature recent videos from Libertarian and Independent candidates across the country.

Best Mashup Video: From Punk Patriot for David Curtis, Green candidate for governor of Nevada




Best Anti-Duopoly Video: "Think Outside the Box," from John Gray, Green candidate for US Senate in Arkansas




Most Fearless Video: "Where are the fucking jobs?" from Howie Hawkins, Green candidate for Governor of New York




Best Grassroots Support Video: "Moms for Hugh," from Hugh Giordano, Green candidate for State Representative in Pennsylvania

Best Homage to "Moms for Hugh": "I Support Jeremy," from Jeremy Karpen, Green candidate for State Representative in Illinois




Best Series of Attack Ads: Tom Clements, Green Candidate for US Senate in South Carolina, goes on the attack against his Republican opponent Jim Demint. Follow the link for all three ads.




Most Street Cred: Laura Wells, Green Candidate for Governor of California.  The ad below features images of the gubernatorial candidate's arrest outside a debate from which she had been excluded. 




Most Creative Use of Political Cliche: In "Fresh Air," Ben Manski, Green candidate for State Assembly in Wisconsin, suggests that we can thank the coal lobby for the traditional "smoke filled room."




Best Ad from a State Affiliate: In "Just Because," the Green Party of New York makes its pitch for Green candidates in the Empire State.




Many thanks to Green Party Watch, On the Wilder Side and Independent Political Report for keeping tabs on all these campaigns. They were indispensable resources for tracking down the above videos.  See also the Green Party's video page.  And, of course, I am certain there are many Green Party ads and campaign videos I overlooked or simply did not see.  Did I miss one from a Green candidate in your neck of the woods?  Drop a link in the comments.  Stay tuned for a roundup of Libertarian and Independent ads and campaign videos later this week.
