Seen this new ad yet from McCain?

[url]http://politicalticker.blogs.cnn.com/2008/10/08/new-mccain-ad-calls-obama-not-presidential/[/url]

Gotta say, I'm not sure how looping footage of Obama calmly saying that the McCain camp is lying is supposed to help McCain. It'd be one thing if he were doing something really over the top or obnoxious, but with all the shit that has flown about this election, Obama just saying, "here’s a situation where folks are lying," is pretty low on the offensiveness scale. I was frankly glad when Obama finally started using "The 'L' Word" to describe what was coming out of the McCain camp, because dancing around it wasn't really working.

Just a few weeks ago, the McCain camp got called out by every major news organization, INCLUDING FOX NEWS for making demonstrably false claims, right around the same time his polling numbers started to take a nose dive. That has largely passed, as the campaigns have moved on to other things -- does he really want to remind voters of that time?

Re: Not Presidential

just to comment on the fox news part, thier new editor in chief is trying to push them to the middle, independent news, they arent there yet, but compared to his predassesor, this guy is impacting thier coverage.

Re: Not Presidential

^ There has been a slight move away from McCain's wrinkled old nuts, but not very far.

Re: Not Presidential

gah, im so sick of this. obama = dumb negro, mccain = dumb caucasian. but i really really really hope obama gets a bullet in the head. then i dont have to listen to toasty nit pick everything and shosh come up with 6 degrees of kevin bacon ideas about barak being bad. i pray to god that i wake up and bob barr somehow won the election. or even kuchinich by some godly intervention. obama reminds me of a mortgage salesman, selling shit people dont really need based on a pipe dream, and mccain reminds me of a catholic school principle telling you the punishment builds character.

Re: Not Presidential

ya cause we all know we need the libertarian party to bring us back to the dawn of the 20th century. They'll fix everything right? I mean, let's all have a hypocrite like Bob Barr take charge or a racist like Ron Paul.

Re: Not Presidential
