Tonight's McCain ad

Max Kaye

Is there any way to limit all the blow-by-blow blog accounts of the US elections to the 'Americano' section?.

Thanks

McCain is using up his war chest in a series of quickie commercials targetted at special groups because once he gets the nomination, he will be funded by the Republican Party and will no longer be able to spend the contents of his war chest.

So we have seen six or seven short, sharp, quickie commercials over the past couple of weeks.

I've just watched an Ad I don't know if it's the Ad over on The Daily Dish as Andrew Sulliavan rightly says McCain has nothing to say but fear, fear and more fear:.

Now all this comes straight from the Rove machine that destroyed McCain's campaign in 2000 when Rove & his place men alleged that he was the fag manchurian candidate, that Cindy was a drug addict, that he had sired an illegitimate child with a black prostitute & that the years as a POW had rotted his brain & he shouldn't bet let anywhere near the nukes.

How can we trust a man that is so desperate for power that he would now stoop as low as to employ EXACTLY the same people eight years later that had peddled this filth & worse about him & his family, does the man have no shame? Obviously not.

Er... no pointed questions in this ad at all. Quite the contrary. And my how it hits the right note.

Of course, we all take what Andrew Sullivan writes extremely seriously.

Oh dear I got the Wrong Ad- You have to be quick in this Interweb blog age.

McCain took the high road for once, well done.

This is the Ad & it's very good I hope he meant it & it wasn't some cynical Rovian trick, Nah I'm sure he meant it, must stop thinking like a Republican.

I'm sure it will all be back to normal tomorrow as per my previous post.

It's nearly 1:00AM I was going to stay up for the big speech but I think I need sleep more than another dose of change. I'll watch it in the morning & no doubt Fraser will say he fluffed it & everyone else in the MSM will say he knocked of the park, something's never change.

I am watching the Obama acceptance speech and it is looking good. I think the DNC has had a 'good Glastonbury' & the GOP has been shown a plate up to which they must step. Can they? That is a rhetorical question, obviously...

Verity

There were over 1,400 comments on the speech thread on Little Green Footballs when I went to bed last night, and every single one of them negative.

What do you mean, the GOP has been shown a plate up to which they must step? On a baseball diamond, there is only one plate and everyone knows where it is.

Of course, we all take what Commenters on LGF write extremely seriously.

Verity sorry I couldn't resist, but come on- LGF is a very right wing blog it's hardly surprising that the comments are overwhelmingly negative towards Obama, Andrew Sullivan is however a prominent & prolific Conservative blogger & his support for Obama is interesting & noteworthy.

THX1138 - "Verity sorry I couldn't resist." No need to apologise. No one givss a crap what you can resist.

Andrew Sullivan used to be a highly rsepected, very talented political journalist who then became obsssed for at least a couple of years with "gay marriage". That's all he ever wrote about. It was his King Charles's head. No matter what the subject, you knew that "gay marriage" was going to come skittering in.

Even before this, he had been rather over-focussed - at least from the point of view of a completely uninterested party - on being gay.

Thanks for your astute observation that LGF is a right wing blog. So's The Speccie.

Verity - It's Sarah Palin, y'all! I tipped her three weeks ago! And no matter who else was mentioned, I just felt she would be McCain's choice. She is perfect!

Conservative, political all her life and achieved in all her posts. Is only 46/47 and very pretty. Beautiful family - two grown sons who tower above her, a grown daughter and a young 'un still at home. Her husband has kept his job although he now leaves for work from the Governor's Mansion. He's in production on the North Slope, so this gal understands the oil industry. She has done low key work to better the indigenous peoples of Alaska.

She will look great standing by McCain's side. Young(ish). A young family. She'll do great on VP overseas trips.

I am so happeeeeeeeeeee!
