Ambien?

3am? This coming from the guy who takes Ambien and says he isn't that sharp unless he gets a full nights rest???!:

This could be a world-class trap for McMansions.

The question is, will Hillary pull the lever on him tonight? McCain's basically daring her (and, by extension, the Big Dog) to blast him.

Note that Mark Warner is tonight's keynote speaker. But Warner doesn't do bludgeoning, so he's going to pretty much be positive in his remarks.

However, a keynoter usually ends the evening. Not tonight. Hillary goes on AFTER Warner. I think she's going to use that prime-time opening to drop the hammer on Senator 894.

This is like the 2008 version of the daisy ad... I don't think this is going to work for McHouses.

Get Em Obama!

She better slams McCain tonight. No excuses.

The more of these ads he puts out, the more I have to question whether he's actually going to pick Romney as VP candidate. Surely they look THAT far ahead .................... but maybe not.

Good question BobFred2 - as someone else on this board suggested, the networks should adopt some policy re: how much they play these ads - reflecting 1) how much money the campaign is actually sinking into them and 2) how much time they gave the opponent's ad if it's a responsive one. Hopefully they make some effort at fairness on the main channels, which is all that many (most?) people see.

So uhmm...who still thinks her staying in past Feb. 19th was a good idea?

Can we take it to the bank that most of the Hillary Holdouts will look at this crap and be hideously offended?

What Hillary said she said, in today's world you can not take it back. The damage is done.

The Democrats need to aggressively set the agenda. Attack, attack, attack. They can not allow the age-old republican tactic continue unchecked. The only way to neutralize the Hillary damage (and it seems she gave the Republicans many opportunities to run similar ads to the 3 a.m. ad) is to put the McCain people on the defensive. We need John McCain responding to Senator Obama ads. We need the news clips to be all Senator Obama initiatives - not McCain.

On a slightly different note - Lyndon Johnson used to say, "I don't care what you say about me, just mention my name." How does this philosophy work in today’s world when John McCain ads use Senator Obama's name more than his own in his ads?

And while McInsane is vacationing for the year and a half like Bush43 . . . How many of Johnny-mop's houses will the Department of Defense have to call to find his pasty white ass so they can wake him up from his drug induced slumber.

Grampy should skip the election and go straight to selling Viagra. He could appear with Bob Dole and their tag-line could be . . . "When you've tried as long as us to get into the Oval Office and failed . . ."

"I, John McInsane, noun verb becuase I was a P.O.W. and I approve of this message."

Thats why I am glad the Dem convention is first because a excitement and buzz threshold will be set and the Rep have to meet or cross that excitement threshold or else their convention will be a dud.

Plus with McCain attacking during the convention, it gives BO camp a marker to guide them in what works and what wont for next week attack ads against McCain during their convention.

All McCain has is Hillary's primary comments. I think BO campaign is going to do something bigger to totally upstage McCain next week.

More of the same. There will be mushroom clouds over your town if you vote for a Dem. It's what I hated so much about the 04 election.

Billary's whole plan is, and has always been, to make sure McCain would win the White House should Hillary not be the Dem nominee.
Her nutty PUMA whack jobs are of the same mindset, and she will continue to signal them that she wants them to stay home in November.
That the Dems are still in the thrall of this sicko couple speaks volumes about a cowardly generation.

It's starting to look to me like McCain has a habit of hiding behind women. Cindy, Hillary . . . Emasculating?

I wonder if that characterization would push McCain's buttons at all?

These ads would have been playing from now until November if Hillary was chosen as Obama's running mate. However the GOP is blowing this wad now because they just want to keep sowing the seeds of dissent during the convention, hoping to cause a situation between dead-enders and Obama during his speech.

The GOP is essentially killing two birds with one stone here, because if they can use Hillary to help take down Obama, they're effectively ending any shot Clinton has in 2012 and destroying the Clinton legacy within the Democratic party.
