BRAVO Obama! Looks like his media machine got the message and changed their ad structure.

The newest TV ad hitting hard at McCain is a VAST IMPROVEMENT over the pitiful Chopin-like piano, poor voiceover crap ads that he was running prior to the Dem Convention.

Here's a review of the improved media product:

1. This is about the issues and Obama verses mccain on those issues

palin is a distraction and a reflection on judgement, but not the main part of the campaign

mccain is the focus of our attention

2. I caught the tail end of an Obama ad that show the Bush/McCain huggy picture.

I think that should be inserted in every ad.

3. Agreed. The more we can connect McCain to Chimp and War Criminal, the better. n/t

Obama ad: Despite Palin, McCain isn't change agent
By JIM KUHNHENN – 2 hours ago

ST. PAUL (AP) — Democratic presidential candidate Barack Obama begins airing an ad Saturday that responds to rival John McCain's selection of a running mate, carefully avoiding any direct criticism of Sarah Palin, the Alaska governor whom McCain chose for the GOP ticket.

Obama's campaign promptly created the spot in advance of next week's Republican National Convention. The ad, called "No Change," sought to sustain the theme that Obama and Democrats worked to cultivate at their own convention this week — that McCain represents a continuation of the policies of an unpopular President Bush.

"Well, he's made his choice," the ad states. "But, for the rest of us there's still no change. McCain doesn't get it, calling this broken economy 'strong.' Wants to keep spending ten-billion-a-month in Iraq. And votes with George Bush 90 percent of the time."

The ad continues: "So, while this may be his running mate..." as an image of McCain and Palin appears on the screen. The image then shifts to a shot of McCain with Bush. "America knows this is John McCain's agenda. And we can't afford four more years of the same."
