It will run again on C-Span.

I think that McCain just lost the Senior vote except for the racist.

2. GOOD! I have been really liking the ads that AARP is running
about health care. Since he offers seniors NOTHING that will help them, he deserves to lose their vote.

4. Yep I am glad and hope there will be an increase in the number of Older
Americans who support Obama. We really need to run things across the board to defeat McCain.

7. I Just Watched Intro For McCain - He Was Cheered
pretty loudly. So now I don't want to watch the rest. Is it at the end, when he gets a tepid response?

8. My mother (age 70) and her friends are extremely anti-McCain.
They depend on their Social Security checks and are terrified of 'privatization' aka gambling on the stock market.

Furthermore, my mom has had a Medicare-based health insurance plan since my father died in 2006 for which she only pays $26 a month. She worries that McCain will gut Medicare and she'll lose her coverage.

Considering the things he's said about SS and Medicare, he shouldn't count on the senior vote.

12. Does that mean they will stop running the lame TV ads?
That is one of the most wasted ad campaigns ever.
