Seen this new ad yet from McCain?
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?
