Why doesn't the Obama camp run adds about..John Mccain running against John Mccain

[sasha031]

show video from 2000 and the continuous regression to the present.

1. Absolutely!! He could also do Palin running against Palin.

The hypocrisy and lying is so rampant in that campagin. tho, I would like to see Palin marginalized, where a VP candidate belongs, and not letting the GOP turn HER into the candidate (tho she's full of great material to use against her.)

3. I don't know how to contact his campaign

when I go to his web page and hit the contact button I'm just brought back to the answer ot questions.

I think he got to hit and keep hitting hard.

2. The McCain ads would be very effective because

Besides showing his lies, they also play into the senility possibility.

4. does anyone have a phone number I can contact?

5. Strange that showing past Mccain allows to think be a future/same McCain.

His pick shows he was not in charge and couldn't be, considering the entrenched GOP system we have had for 20 plus years. He really agrees with Bush ideas more than Bush.

6. Have Obama responding to both McCains in the ad.

7. I loved Kerry's speech

Candidate McCain vs Sen. McCain.

I was hoping that would be included in an ad.

8. That would be a good one. Show clip after clip of McCain stating views opposite of those

he takes now.

9. No. Because that can be used to say he's only acting this

way to win and will become the 2000 McCain after he wins. B.S. As they say, he has made his deal with the devil and they own him.

Plus, I think the McCain fans have been snookered. The Republicans have cultivated the phony McCain image for years b/c they knew there would be a tipping point where Americans would say enough.

His nickname when he was young was McNasty. That speaks volumes.

10. I've been hoping to see this line of attack, too.

It could hurt McCain with independent swing voters who currently buy into the maverick myth and those among the Republican base that have momentarily forgotten why they normally hate McPander so much.

11. Daily Show beat them to it:

12. McCain vs. McCain!

John Stewart does that so well, and they are so devastating. I think Obama could get a lot of mileage by emulating that.

My only concern is whether they could do the setup in 30 seconds. Maybe if they did a whole series of "McCain vs. McCain" ads, and each one featured a different whopper? They could run them in order as installments during primetime, like they do with beer commercials sometimes during big sporting events.

13. Installments would be a great idea

14. Its so frustrating

reading these great ad ideas, and then watching the weak ones the Obama campaign is putting out (granted the new ones have been slightly better). Why can't the Obama campaign strategists take a page out of the DU'ers book =/
