1. YES!!! k&r

[nc4bo]

2. Very short , to the point and all business. rec. nt

[dontforgetpoland]

3. I kinda wish it refuted McCain a bit more than just 1 line.

Needs more specifics on his Energy plan.

[Thrill]

4. Why the hell is there nothing in there linking McCain to Bush?

Another missed opportunity.

[Median Democrat]

5. Question - Will Big Media Give This Ad Any Free Play?

It seems like all the McCain campaign needs to do is put an ad on Youtube, and the ad is shown on all the major networks.

6. PA's ad hit a bit harder for those looking for the KO punch

17. You're right.

That's a much more effective ad. I like that the Obama ad instructs people to read his whole energy policy at his website, but honestly, the people who need convincing are just not likely to go out of their way to use reason in choosing a president.

7. The ad should have taken it to McCain more

They don't have to be vicious about it, but they need to make it clear that McCain is leveling ridiculous accusations. The same should be done for his "Obama didn't visit the troops" ad.

[bkinsd]

8. Those were my thoughts exactly

Good ad, but need to point out how ridiculous the original McCain ad was.

[nc4bo]

9. I sincerely believe that it will come but not right now and probably not

with Obama on it.

I know it's frustrating, it makes me sick to see mcgoo & co. getting away with murder but I really do think it will turn around.

btw, I'm 3/4 optimist, 1/4 pessimist and holding steady. :)

[Cha]

11. I'm with you...they need to make

an ad with mccain the star of his own lies and rancid negativity.

[tekisui]

20. The tape is there. A few hours edit, and it can be all over.

What is good about mcgaffe mess-ups going largely unnoticed is we a have a collection now. We have him on every side of every issue and butching the delivery. Let him keep shooting himself in the foot for some more reel time.

And, let it fly when the time is right. Mccain isn't a real threat, yet.

[Cha]

21. Precisely..the tapes are adding up to a

crescendo for its climatic debut.

[Enrique]

22. not attacking McCain is the exact point of the ad

and kind of the point of Obama's campaign.

[JackORoses]

10. It leaves McAnus looking hollow and pointless

[Cha]

14. And useless

as a whining liar.

[Cha]

12. I like it...solutions not

dirty lying politics.

[99th_Monkey]

13. too bad the ad doesn't mention how Congr. GOP blocked Dem plan to lower gas prices. ~nt~

[Indenturedebtor]

15. That would kinda throw a wrench in the "solutions not partisan bickering" approach though n/t

[99th_Monkey]

16. Maybe you're right ... leave that to MoveOn.org, et. al.. ~nt~

[tekisui]

19. ANd leave that to the congressional Dems.

[depakid]

18. "the same old politics?"

:eyes:

That's the best they can do to highlight the Republican record?

Well, at least it's a response.

[applegrove]

23. Well done. Houston... we have a fighter!

[jillan]

24. Don't hurt me - but -

It started out great, and just kinda fizzled after that.

Obama needs to give gramps a better spanking than that.
