It's becoming increasingly clear that the McCain camp intends to run negative ad after negative ad, and that they are starting to have an impact. Ergo, Obama has got to come back with his own. I've found his previous forays into the world of negative campaigning to be pretty underwhelming, but this one I really like:

If I were Obama, I think a pretty good ad would be to just run that picture of McCain lovingly hugging Bush on a continuous loop between now and November. Eyes closed, dude looks like he's in a state of complete and utter bliss. Not a good shot at all.
Some will probably chastise Obama for running negative ads while touting "a new kind of politics," but I think there is a difference between ads that raise legitimate points related to the way that someone would govern, and those that just make shit up and/or attack someone on an unnecessarily personal basis. Here's hoping he keeps it above board.
