Ha, Dem party releases its own "animal" ad to counter Bush's [View All]

[quinnox]

Countering, the Democratic Party released a commercial that features a soaring eagle and an ostrich with its head in the sand. The ad asks: "Given the choice, in these challenging times, shouldn't we be the eagle again?"

Kerry running mate John Edwards (news - web sites), in Boynton Beach, Fla., said Bush had "stooped so low" that he was "continuing to try to scare America in his speeches and ads in a despicable and contemptible way."

Reminiscent of Ronald Reagan (news - web sites)'s Soviet "Bear" ad that was credited with helping frame the 1984 race, Bush's commercial shows a dense forest from above and then sunlight-speckled trees from inside. Shadows move through the brush before animals are seen in the forest. Wolves rest on a hill, then stir and move forward.
