Don't look now, but somebody just armed the nukes.

Democracy For America and Brave New PAC are airing an ad which questions McCain's health, talking about his age and his melanomas. No kid gloves--this is an all out long-knives ad.

9. Leave this one alone people...

All the woo-hoos and hell yeahs are unnaceptable to the independents we need to win this thing.

[TheWraith]

12. Yeah, because they were so turned off by the Swift-boaters, they voted Bush out of office.

:eyes:

[Kilroy003]

14. Those were Republicans who went for that crap.

The independents voted Bush because he had a consistent message and they thought Kerry was too flaky (admittedly the swift boat stuff didn't help, but I don't think it hurt as much as some of us think).

[TheWraith]

15. So you really think that no independent voters are affected by negative ads?

What color is the sky there?

[Kilroy003]

16. It's been cloudy all day...

To answer your question; I think there were plenty of independents that fell for it and voted Bush because the thought Kerry was a liar, etc. There were more that voted Bush because they saw believed he was better equipped to deal with foreign policy issues. I also think quite a few people voted with a 'you broke it, you fix it' mentality.

10. This is a valid question.. It is a strong ad but not a long knife IMO

Edit to add, Hitler references should be avoided, even mild ones like this

[tbyg52]

11. It's perfectly legit, considering it ups the chances of Palin becoming president. nt
