Candidate Makes Light of Own Disability

Oregon Democratic U.S. Senate candidate Steve Novick re-creates a scene at a bar in Portland, Ore., Wednesday, Feb. 27, 2008, from one of his campaign ads where he helps another patron struggling to open a bottle of beer by using the metal hook he uses for a left hand to pop the top.  Novick, who is running against Oregon House Speaker Jeff Merkley in the primary, is hoping his humorous ads will help give him the chance to run against Republican incumbent Gordon Smith in the general election. (AP Photo/Don Ryan)SALEM, Ore. (AP) - So a U.S. Senate candidate with a metal hook for a left hand walks into a bar.

The candidate, Steve Novick, has bellied up next to a voter and the two talk about politics. The other guy struggles to twist off a beer cap. Novick coolly reaches over, grabs the bottle and deftly uses his metal hook to pop it open, telling the other man: "We can't afford just politics as usual."

It's a political ad unlike any other this season, and the video has become a hit on YouTube.
