Radfringe posted Obama's newest ad in GD. Watch it. I think his Change and Still were the soft touch leading up to this hard hitting ad, which dispels McCain's lying about his desire for change and to clean up Washington. To quote Jon Stewert: Settle down.

1. Excellent ad but do any of you think he should have saved it for

when the hurricaine is over? It's going to be nothing but Ike for the next few days.

6. While the hurricane will take much of the news cycle, since we're hoping

it won't be a horrendous disaster for our fellow citizens, I think he needed to get a hard hitting ad out there.

2. Isn't this a few days old?

I agree it's a good ad, but I'm pretty sure it was released BEFORE "Change" and "Still".

4. they need to pound this sort of thing over and over

they need to attack McCain relentlessly - they need to attach him to Bush IN EVERY SINGLE AD.

No more "soft touch", feel good crap.

Obama has hit his ceiling for people who are going to vote FOR him - now he needs to attract voters who will be voting AGAINST McCain.

8. Hand wringers

Most overused phrase on DU . . .

just an adolescent way to put down people who aren't on the Pep Squad.

11. I like the ad. It's just not the right kind of ad.

Sorry, this is another "issues" ad and it doesn't attack hard enough. We need to drag McCain through the mud, not just criticize his alliances.
