Gingrich’s ‘Morning in America’ ad?

Published December 5, 2011 5:00am ET



It’s not as sunny as Reagan’s Morning in America ad, but Gingrich perhaps is looking to evoke the former president’s optimistic tone.

Gingrich’s newest ad opens with a sunset, and he insists that “the America we know and love” is not fading, and that  working together I know we can rebuild America.”

The ad features traditional scenes from Americana, such as a Texas cowboy, a country church, a steel factory, and a farmer striding through a wheat field.

I’m pretty sure I detect the Rudy soundtrack in there too.

 

I’ve included Reagan’s original ad below for comparison.
