This guy is running for congress in Mass. It's gone viral and it's pretty good although Carl is polling in 3rd place tonight.

The campaign video of Carl Sciortino ‘coming out’ to his conservative father has gone viral. Gay? No problem. Liberal? Outrageous. By Ben Jacobs.

Yes, that’s really Carl Sciortino’s father.

In the viral campaign ad that has received national attention, Carl Sciortino Jr., the liberal Democratic state representative running for Congress in Massachusetts’s 5th Congressional District, goes back and forth with his father, Carl Sciortino Sr., an unabashed conservative and Tea Party member. The ad plays with the fact that not only is Sciortino Jr. a proud “Massachusetts liberal,” he’s also openly gay and struggling with the fact that he’s marrying his partner 10 days before the Democratic primary.
