Colette always had Hollywood aspirations. Maybe this will be a little something for her. It seems like the mainstream has gotten away from female muscle.

Seems Colette the Conservative just can't get enough of staring in Barely Political videos . . .  8)

I can't decide if it's a criticism of Republicans (Colette the Substitute coming-in all the time) or whether it's completely self-unaware Republican flag-waving; either way it's not the way to publicise yourself and break into the movie business – you're alienating around 50% of your audience immediately.  From the femuscle point of view it's little more than the uaual novelty/circus-sideshow style of exposure that hardly does FBBing much good.  Sorry to sound like a curmudgeon, but I really don't see how this stuff helps.

I think it's pretty much about the cheesecake.

I don't see Colette's role in these spots as alienating an audience based on political party loyalties.  For instance, just because Will Ferrel mockingly portrayed G.W. Bush on SNL doesn't mean that people base their enjoyment of his movies based on whether they are Republican or Democrat (I'm not sure *what* they base their enjoyment of Will Ferrel movies on, but that's a whole other discussion).

In the meantime, anyone who watches these "Obama Girl Vs. McCain Girl" videos will see her, and at the very least will probably enjoy the humor in the situation…and if she gains some more fans in the process (detractors can be easily ignored, after all), so much the better for her.  And for existing femuscle fans, there's at least this extra little bit of content to enjoy/drool over.  😉

How many people knew Colette Nelson existed a couple of months ago? How many people know she exists now?

My only complaint is that the second spot isn't nearly as interesting as the first.

Meh, at this point most intelligent Americans hate/distrust both parties anyway: the Republicans have failed the country, the Democrats can't seem to offer an attractive alternative.

[cpbell0033944]

Actually, smitty and Number 6 have a point, though I'd suggest that most people know her as "McCain Girl" rather than as Colette, but it does give some exposure and is humourous (though I agree that the second spot wasn't as good as the first – it seemed too lengthy to me and not as funny).

[ant1937]

Colette was not a big time republican when I spoke with her at all. I think she just wanted this gig. It is exposure.
