Idea for an anti-McCain ad...
I tried this one out on GDP and it pretty much got panned, but thought I'd try it here.

Remember those old-time country fair shooting galleries? Where a target would come out, someone would shoot it with a pellet gun, and the thing would go "DING" and go in the opposite direction?

Well, I'd love to see a commercial where you have a cartoon shooting gallery. Then a mostly cartoon McCain comes out, holding a bulls-eye out from him, to a track of McCain commenting against the Bush tax cuts. Then you'd hear something like this:

and it starts in the opposite direction with him supporting them (NOTE: no gun barrel would be visible). And then another McCain target comes in from the opposite side with another position he's held against Bush but flip-flopped on. Run about 4 of these out, then fade to a picture of Bush holding a gun, something like this:



and a voiceover that says, "Who's really calling the shots here?"

1. Nice idea, maybe with a few more specifics?
Like what gets shot down?

2. And, wrongfully of course, you'd be branded a terrorist for calling for his assassination.

McCain could run the same ad, with crosshairs, and it would be called edgy. It'll go viral, they'll say.
