Pugno's 11th hour TV commercial 'jumps the salmon'

Welcome to the final days of campaigning when candidates and political consultants (no doubt overworked, exhausted and a little anxiety ridden over next week's election) start producing TV and radio spots that either miss the mark or "jump the shark." Or in the case of one Assembly candidate, the commercial jumps the salmon.


Andy Pugno, who hopes to succeed Roger Niello in the 5th district, produced a TV commercial that criticizes his opponent Dr. Richard Pan for approving the purchase of a $50,000 salmon statue when he served on the Sacramento First Five Commission.

Sure, we believe First Five dollars could be better spent. But this video screams desperation and probably won't gain traction with independent voters. What do you think?
