They're going to burn good money on that?

'Intellectually bankrupt' does not even begin to describe the McCain campaign.

Can we start a list of ways Britney is less of a failure than the Bush administration?

who would respond well to this ad?? monkeys?

I hope somebody just recorded the segment on Hardball today that just passed.

Congressman Barney Frank just laid it straight to the mainstream media over their constant distortion, over-analyzing, opinionated discussions they frequently make about every nuance Obama makes.

It was a refreshing moment to see, and the little worm Tucker Carlson was there also to get caught backtracking trying defend the media.

If you see it be sure to catch the part of Tucker squirming the words "Spare Me" when Barney catch him lying. :D

I wish I had a DVR. This would go straight to Youtube.

So all the foreign leaders who met with Barack Obama and liked him are brainless morons?

The Germans (Hasselhoff ad) and the French (Sarkosy shot, and luggage tag mock) deserved to be mocked to win political points? Is this the vaunted McCain foreign affairs experience at work?

I'm off the ledge now and I don't know if this add "works" for McCain. I mean why magnify the fact that your opponent is popular here and around the world?

I think Obama just found an opening. From McCain's townhall (via The Page):

I want to look you in the eye: I will not raise your taxes nor support a tax increase. I will not do it.

Read my lips....

Didn't he get that idea from the olde guy he sat next to in the golf scooter?
Sad.

Here's something I find odd about TV ad buys: I have to believe that most of America is like my husband when it comes to political ads - watch them once, then every time afterward they come on, America changes the channel or leaves the room -

I figured this was coming, but not so soon. It proves Obama's forging a lead already, or they would not resort to desperation tactics.

Maybe they don;t realize, the Harold ford "callme" ads only worked at the last minute in a much closer race.

I smell Mehlman. Maybe Gillespei, too, which means Rove's got a finger in the pie, too, probably.

This is their inevitable "plan Z' which they were probably figuring would begin sometime in the last week of October.

Actually, it is a good sign that they are already floundering. McCain's going to lose more than he gains by giving it up to the same people who trashed him in SC in 2000. And that is what this ad represents, more than anything previously.

Does anyone here feel sorry for Britney Spears who by all accounts is trying to get her act together, the McCain campaign do realize that Britney is a "real" person with documented mental issues. I'm no Britney defender, but it's one thing to use a celebrity who is known for there political stances (Alec Baldwin, Streisand, Susan Sarandon, Jane Fonda), but Britney Spears is as apolitical as you can get, it just seems like in trying to get a dig in at Obama, they are also getting a dig at Britney's expense, and it kinda makes it more wrong for some reason.

Paris on the other hand, I have no sympathey for the spoiled little rich girl

Senator McCain seems to be trying to prove the cynical adage that nobody ever went broke underestimating the taste or intelligence of the American people.

So Senator Obama tries to keep out of the gutter, and people go on and on bout how he's uppity .... sorry, presumptuous. If the Obama campaign even starts telling the truth about John McCain, not even getting close to the lies and smears of the McCain camp, then he would get hammered for being less than reverent toward the war hero who has never stopped fighting against his country's enemies.

Four times, Obama dropped people from his campaign because he believed they were being disrespectful toward McCain. End this with an equally cynical aphorism: no good deed goes unpunished.
