It is illegal to make false claims in a TV or radio commercial unless you are running for political office.
If you're selling toothpaste, your claims must be vetted by legal and medical professionals. But not if you're selling a candidate.
If you're selling a candidate, not only can you lie about his record, but more to the point, you can lie about his opponent.

Anyway, I like the idea!
