The best of the worst

I am looking for as many examples of funny/absurd/head scratching political advertisement from the current US cycle. Video preferred but print/web certainly accepted.
A few (hopefully clarifying details below the fold)
1. NOT looking for graaa graa "stupid ideas are absurd", but more in line with say Paul's MN ad, or Santorum's recent work. Which certainly contain silly ideas but are gems of political creativity in of themselves. The more "over the top" in production values/creativity the better.
2. Real ads/campaigns please. I love me some Cobert and Stewart and their whole SuperPac follies, but want candidates who are at least nominally in it to win it.
3. It doesn't have to be from the national primaries, if something tickles you from a local race please let me have it, but let it be very very good.
If I can get enough from enough sources it may turn into a MeProjects post down the road.

The fast-cut dramatic montage at the beginning of this Rick Perry ad never fails to crack me up.

How current? There was Ben Quayle a while back.
