Picking a gubernatorial candidate to vote for is a lot like picking out a wedding dress — at least according to the College Republican National Committee.

A new series of web ads for the gubernatorial elections throughout the country called "Say Yes To The Candidate" (fashioned as a takeoff on the reality show Say Yes to the Dress) depict a young woman deciding which wedding dress to buy. In the videos, she gravitates to one supposedly designed by the Republican candidate, while her mother keeps interfering and trying to get her to choose the inferior and more expensive Democratic gown.
