Seriously - I don't have a problem with the lobbyist ad, but the 1982 ad is a mistake. It's insulting to people who don't consider themselves computer literate which is far more than many of us here are willing to admit. It makes McCain out to be far more "common" than it shows him out of touch - plus it gives people something to relate to him about. It's a ready made homerun opportunity for McCain to fire back about perceived elitism. If its directed at younger voters, there's a problem with that - their voting record is the lowest in our populace, we are counting on something that is a unproven and unreliable commodity - and we don't do that by denigrating the part of the populace that has the highest percentage of voter turn-out.

I do this shit for a living. This is a bad move.
