The ''others,'' in this case, are the two other council Republicans and Democrats Tillery and Minette Cooper, who formed a coalition with Mr. Heimlich. On one of the ads, Mr. Heimlich actually shows pictures of his four cohorts, much to the chagrin of Mr. Tillery and Ms. Cooper, who really don't want to remind voters in their Democratic base that they have spent the past year consorting with known Republicans. Mr. Winburn quite obviously loves theater. While most of the campaign commercials out this year look like ads for deodorant or term life insurance, Mr. Winburn's ads are mini-action films. The one featuring a citizen having a heart attack in his front yard while cops try to bring him around with a defibrillator that Charles Winburn put in their police cars could be spliced into one of those real-life cop shows without missing a beat.
