What do Barry Manilow, skeet shooting, and driving a car in reverse have to do with the 2014 US elections? Well, this campaign season had no shortage of interesting TV ads – including ones with the motifs just mentioned.

Democrat Mary Burke used a tried-and-true tactic to help create a competitive race against Gov. Scott Walker (R). She found a big promise her rival had made, and highlighted how he had failed to keep it.
