Down-ballot races have been contentious this political season, as none of the contenders really know how the bitterly contested presidential race will affect them. So candidates are getting creative. And for us, that means better than average political ads.
The millennial-pleasing, '80s homage below is my favorite dance-based political promotion of the season. It stars Bay Area legends Joe Montana, MC Hammer and Ronnie Lott, as well Jaleel White (aka Urkel) and former Congressman Barney Frank jamming out to a cover of the Huey Lewis and News track "Hip to Be Square." All in an attempt to elect Democrat Scott Wiener, a candidate for California State Senate.
