I'm not impressed by this frankly. This is the equivalent of bringing a pea shooter to a gunfight.

[KittyWampus]

1. Boring. It's good alluding to McCain's gambling addiction. A great line of attack

But i was quickly bored and lost interest.

[slinkerwink]

2. They need a photo of McCain gambling

There are the damn pictures of him gambling out there on the internet.

[Joe the Revelator]

8. Edit: Yeah, its a bad ad

[slinkerwink]

11. you're actually pleased by this craptastic ad?

[begin_within]

3. Meanwhile McCain's camp spins out movies

[Muttocracy]

4. too much reading, annoying music and sound. nt

[Eric J in MN]

5. McCain actually voted against the tax cuts for the rich in 2001 and 2003, but...

...has recently said that he wants them made permanent.

[slinkerwink]

7. so?

[Eric J in MN]

19. The web video says he voted for the tax cuts for the rich. NT

NT

[Shine]

6. Hmmm...I'm UNDERwhelmed, I agree. Good thing it's only a web ad.

sigh.

[slinkerwink]

9. it's the equivalent of the "E-mail" anti-McCain ad

[Phx_Dem]

10. Boring and stupid. I didn't even finishing watching it. n/t

[polichick]

12. What it does very well is to SHOW what our odds are - & it plays on the "lobbyists" ad.

[terrya]

13. That's not from the Obama/Biden campaign, is it?

It doesn't look like it to me.

I agree that's dull, but it doesn't look like it came from the campaign.

[slinkerwink]

15. Yes, it is. The website is owned by the Obama campaign.

[speedoo]

16. No indication it's from the campaign.

Other than the OP's comment, which I frankly do not believe.

[slinkerwink]

21. It is from the Obama campaign. Go to the website, and it's owned by Obama For America

[KingFlorez]

14. It points out the facts

Not every ad is going to be heavy hitting, but as long as it puts truth out there, it's fine. It's a lot better than McCain ads, which are full of lies and distortions.

[PresidentObama]

17. Obama needs to fire whomever is making his ad's, and get someone hard hitting.

We need to beat the living shit out of him.

[slinkerwink]

20. CALL THE OBAMA CAMPAIGN AT [phone]

and press 6 to talk to a live volunteer about this.

[Schema Thing]

25. Give it a rest.

This is a web-ad, found on the Obama website.

Try not to lose your cool. Obama isn't losing his, nor should he.

[PresidentObama]

18. Obama needs to fire whomever is making his ad's, and get someone hard hitting.

We need to beat the living shit out of him.

[sasha031]

22. what is the matter with them

, I posted earlie about them running adds, Mccain running against mccain.

why don't they listen to the people, it reminds me of Kerry all over again.

[Connie_Corleone]

23. It's just a web ad.

For those complaining about it, it's not on TV so it's not a big deal.

[thewiseguy]

24. Should we call the Obama campaign and tell them about it?

:shrug:

[Windy]

26. You people are overreacting. The ad simply says that voting for McCain is a gamble.

Do you really REALLY think the Obama should go into the gutter and put out an ad with video/photos of McCain in a casino?
I don't want my candidate to resort to that sort of campaign. Its beneath him!

He should make an ad out of his hard hitting comments about McCain and the issues in his townhall meeting today in NH.

Instead of bitching, make this video go viral. It will do more good than any juvenile campaign ad showing McCain gambling in a casino.

[KittyWampus]

30. the message is perfect, the delivery and packaging are what suck

[darius15]

27. I thought it sucked, but it's just a web ad, so whatever.

Obama needs someone who knows how to make good attack ads. Like McCain has Steve Schmidt (Rove protege).

[Windy]

28. Oh really? The video is from a new website about McCain's lobbyist ties. Slinkerwink, come on...

Please get all of the facts before posting things that could erode
our confidence in our candidate. Please look at the website.

You have posted some great information in the past. You are letting the polls get to you. Have you worked for the Obama campaign? I have and they maintain a contact data base based upon canvassing results and phone banking nationwide. Every voter they contact is categorized into strong obama, leaning obama, undecided, leaning mccain, strong mcain. They know what is going on out there more than any polling organization. Go and work one of the thousands of offices nationwide. You'll feel better. Trust me.

29. I couldn't sit through that sucker...and I wanted to.

Terrible ad.
