If only all campaign ads could be like this. No mud slinging. No lies. Just address the challenges that face our nation and explain what you plan to do about it. That's all I need to know.

This is awesome!
I recognize the guys from the old commercials.
It would be great if they aired this as campaign ad on tv during super bowl

I certainly hope the campaign is over before the Superbowl!

He's probably a registered voter, too.

The RNC just pulled all funding for her campaign ads.

I think McCain is making *history.

Daisy's got nothing on this ad.

My favorite was "Radical education program".

BTW, did you know that "Radical education program"'s founder endorsed McCain?

I didn't really think anything of the comment. I was too focused on how crappy and pointless this debate was. I could have gotten the same crap from a few campaign ads in less than 5 min. I thought this was a waste of time.

Hmm...reminds me of a real wolf-oriented campaign ad a few years back that seemed to help Bush.
If this was used as an actual campaign ad, I bet it would help her chances, considering how most Americans really dont give a shit about environmental issues in this election.

oh yeah lets stretch whatever we can get our hands on and link it to McCain because this is not doing the same stupid things campaign ads do mhmm...

this video makes this one http://www.videosift.com/video/Is-Baraka-Obama-Ready-To-Lead-No sound amazing.

Comment hidden because you are ignoring dag. (show it anyway)

^Man, that's the worst out-of-context hack job I've seen used in a legitimate campaign ad.

This election isn't about the truth.
Not only that, but this truth is not packaged for likely republican voters. Sure it looks good if you lean left, it's honest, direct, reasonably respectful. Nobody who has "identity" issues with Obama, which is still a large subset of historically blue voters, is going to care at all about this.
I think McCain/Palin is a much bigger likelihood then most people are willing to recognize. The culture-war mindset that Palin creates could very easily bring this thing home for McCain.
"The Same" may, or may not be a good message, at least they are sticking with it, so it may end up sticking to McCain, but it looks like an all eggs in one basket strategy, and it makes me queasy watching it and thinking that it's just preaching to the choir.


Nail on head, dgandhi. People want to see their reflection; and that goes for both sides.

We want the smarter people in office, they want the pitbull soccer mom. It's the same dichotomy that I find when I go to family gatherings:

They're all sports fanatics, athlete of the year, Mr. and Mrs. popularity, deacons and prayer leaders at a Baptist church. They look to me for a sense of intelligence outside their usual mindset, respecting many of my opinions, except when it comes to politics and religion.

All rational thinking ends there.

They see their reflection in Palin and they see that it is good; they've been right all along, and McCain/Palin is going to make everyone feel more at home, less conflicted, less awkward about our sexuality and our faith as a nation. All those homosexuals and niggers and baby killers and preachers of the evil of evolution -- they're not going to be a problem any longer. They can accept a woman as VP, because, well, that's the less authoritative, yet still powerful role that wives in America have served for hundreds of years.

Praise Jesus!

This election isn't about the truth. This election is about influence, regardless of what's "true." And influence is what the GOP does better than the Demos ever will.


to paraphrase pontious pilate, "what is truth? is truth unchanging law? we [all] have truths. are mine the same as yours?"
