O M G!


Hard, Hard Hitting McCain Ad


Wow. I mean . . . wow.

This ad! This is an ad. A female voice-over saying that Hillary Clinton won millions of votes, but isn't on his ticket . . . for speaking the truth . . . the truth hurt . . . and Obama didn't like it.

This is one of the most interesting ads I've ever seen. And heard. You don't even really need the visuals - a few carefully placed words and BAM! POW! I am not sure of the effect it will have, but I'm thinking that it won't be good for Barack Obama. It could be really, really bad for him. Back in the summer of 2007 when the McCain campaign looked to be all but dead, I (and I'm sure all those McCain supporters) thought . . . don't write John McCain off yet, he's pretty resilient. I wish I had been wrong.

For those of us who believe that Obama's best chance for success was lost when he chose a vice presidential candidate who is not Hillary, this ads resonates. Deeply. I hope that the Obama campaign has something big, something powerful planned to convince Hillary supporters that we all (myself included) have to get over it and move on. America and the world needs for us to vote for the Democrat. I am worried.

Check it out - it's called "Passed Over" and you can find it on YouTube. It's like those sugar-coated sour candies that make you shrivel up your nose and shake every time you eat them but you still can't get enough.
