Rick Perry has a new minute-long campaign ad out today, and he’s pulled out all the emotional stops. It covers all requisite Ken Burns bases—there’s baseball, war vets, and even a Tim Tebow kneeling in the rain. There are planes, trains, and automobiles. Watch the magic for yourself. The video starts by asking “What makes a Champion?,” segues into reminding us that Rick Perry ran the world’s 13th biggest economy and that he created 1 million jobs, and ends by saying “This is a Leader.” We’ll see if this works in a state where he’s currently polling only three percentage points ahead of Stephen Colbert.
