Brian Deese, a campaign policy advisor, returns to rebut the false claims to which John McCain resorts in his latest ad "Taxman".

1. I like these form of rebuttals. take it line by line.

2. Now get it on TV.

Youtube primarily reaches the youth vote, which he already primarily has. It also alienates the elderly vote, the one he has the worst problems getting. Get it on tv. An attack ad is only recognized as an attack ad if it fingers the other candidate. This is really a defense ad and it needs to be seen by a wider swath of age groups to be truly affective. Otherwise, McCain will begin to eat him alive if all that is seen by these age groups are anti-Obama slander ads.

3. Excellent, although the delivery could be a little more energetic.

I'm sure there will be some good ads based on this information. This is great if intended to inform people who like Obama already.

4. It's probably best used as a tool for us to enlighten the less-informed.

Like if you have a co-worker who says, "I just saw a commercial that says Obama will raise taxes on me." Then you could show them this rebuttal to get real facts to the ill-informed.

6. Right!

5. This is the clip htat has to go viral. When it comes down to it that's all their voters care about.
