The only way McCain can win is with negativity. He has nothing interesting to say about his own platform, because there's nothing new or creative or bold about it. I used to like McCain a lot, but he's nothing compared to the bold ideas of Obama.

McCain needs a wake up call . He aspires to become the leader of the most powerful nation on the planet but has nothing better to offer than a childish jab .Which ofcourse doesn't address oil concerns,job concerns,education concerns,global warming concerns,economy concerns,war or police action concerns. "Phone home" McCain, there are some real problems that need to be your concerns and how you plan to address them.
That needs to be your ad(s).

Flattery will get you nowhere but ridicule?
Now that's another subject entirely. The best way to deal with a pompous ass is to hold him up to public ridicule. And the best pictures to use in this effort are those supplied by the pompous ass himself.
That they are effective is gainsaid. They would be ignored by the pompous ass if they were not effective or if they achieved a negative end.
But to have a temper tantrum because you are having to view yourself as a pompous ass is proof of the pudding.
Now, Obamessiah, go sit in the corner with little jack horner and eat your curds and whey.

Someone should tell Plouffe that it is OBAMA that everyone is tired of. He is a totally marketed political machine man. No resume. All glitz. Small Town Bitter White Folk have higher standards for this job than Done Nothing Obama - and they are clinging to those standards.
BELIEVE it.

At last the GOP has found the "focus" it needs to get its candidate elected President. Forget the war, the housing crisis, and the ruined economy. The Democratic candidate is a "celebrity" and the GOP candidate is not. Reason enough to vote GOP and another 4 years of the same failed policies.

Two young, blond white women walk across the TV screen, followed by a black man the ad makers want viewers to think of as "dangerous." The image will stick in certain peoples' minds long after they've forgotten the narration and the titles.
