1. This just aired here (NC). Powerful ad! n/t

[omen]

2. Is anyone concerned that this could backfire?

Show McCain as a strong fighter for america, etc... it's definitely going to be viewed as such for those who are already supporting him. No chance of converting them. Undecideds though, perhaps...

3. I don't like it. There are so many other things to hit him on.

I think this will only make the people who are leaning McCain take the plunge. Unfortunately, I believe that Fahrenheit 9/11 had a little bit of that effect.

Just my opinion. It could influence some people.

7. Great ad

1. Being a POW is not a qualification
2. McCain has an out-of-control temper
3. He'd be one finger away from wiping out life as we know it

That pretty much hit every point.

4. Just as I clicked "play," the ad ran on MSNBC!

:woohoo:

5. John McCain is not someone that I would like to see with his finger next to the Red Button.

Yes, I am concerned that this might backfire. Then again, almost anything seems to have the opportunity to backfire, No?

6. I love this

Screw McCain. He works my last nerve.

This guy is right, just like Wes Clark was right: Being a POW isn't a presidential resumé. McCain's an iron-hearted hothead and he is most definitely the wrong person for the job.

8. Dont worry Ayers and Rev Wright are coming

so there is no need to be afraid...i dont see McCain coming out against the Ayers ad that already played...they are professional victims

9. Stupid diversion; the economy collasped today - don't give McCain somtehing else to talk about...

It completely distracts from the very thing Obama needs to do to win.

PUSH THE TERRIBLE ECONOMY.

Timing is everything. BAD timing.

10. This is hitting his strength, that is the idea

McCain is always playing the POW card. Well here is another POW saying McCain is not qualified! This is Obama or an Obama ally turning back Rove politics on McCain himself. We should not be worried about this backfiring. Do you think the Bush campaigned worried when they swiftboated Kerry? This is the perfect ad to raise doubts about McCain.
