GOP ad operative Fred Davis created this teaser ad for Jon Huntsman, a former Utah governor who's set to announce his candidacy for the White House next week. Davis's infamous past ads include the demon sheep for Carly Fiorina and "I am not a witch" for Christine O'Donnell. Contrast those efforts with the ambiguous Huntsman spot. Its brilliance stems from conveying absolutely nothing of value and making no intellectual demands on the viewer whatsoever. Thus, it really speaks to me, because, like all right-thinking Americans, I prefer to know as little as possible about who I'm backing and to exercise zero thought before I step into the voting booth.
