Too much exposure, too little exposure. . . . it doesn’t really matter. The fact that we nominated McCain was the first nail in this coffin. Well, here’s wishing that the R’s wise up come 2012 so we can nominate a “real” conservative.

after all, would you rather have young and inexperienced, or older and wiser RUNNING THE COUNTRY!

Um…just a minor thing really, but could we all agree that as conservatives, we want it so that the president runs the government, not the country.

But McCain’s team’s got it down. The best thing about all these ads is that they all tie together with that creepy “ObaMA-ObaMA-ObaMA” chant.

That just freaks average people out, as well it should. We don’t do that here.

And the more McCain uses Barry’s cult of personality against him, the more Barry just won’t be able to win when he gets up in front of his worshipping throng in Mile High Stadium. They start chanting, and it’s going to relate to the watchers right back to these ads.

Barry’s done for. I’m really thinking McCain needs to carry his ass til the Dem convention.

After all, this empty suit ain’t the nominee yet.

Ding Ding Ding!!! We have a winner!! Best ad idea I’ve heard in a LOOOOOOOOONG time!! Can someone call McCain’s camp please?!?

McCain should incorporate the Paris ad, showing Paris calling him the “Old White Haired Dude.” How about at the end saying, “I’m John McCain, aka, ‘the old white haired dude’ and I approved this message.”

EconomicNeocon on August 6, 2008 at 11:33 AM

Is it just me, or does she in fact doesn’t really seem to be “attacking” McCain here, as she say “Old white haired guy” but she calls The One “that other guy”…. I think she’s a closet Republican…

Nah….

Cut to Hilton talking about white hair dudes…

Then cut to Obama saying I don’t look like the other guys on the dollar bills…

Then cut to pictures of George Washingon, Jefferson, Jackson…

Then cut to McCain saying… “Yes, I’m an old white haired dude, but I’d be Honored to be counted in their company…”

Its a Zen thing, turn the attack to your own advantage by embracing the attack… after all, would you rather have young and inexperienced, or older and wiser RUNNING THE COUNTRY!

It’s not you! McCain’s campaign hasn’t spent a dollar on adverts in Florida yet, but Obama has been dumping cash there.. One would think that the florida polls would have moved more Obama’s way in light of that? McCain may be looking for the more personal touch with Crist, Lieberman and maybe Rudy doing the groundwork b4 the big cash influx.

Am I the only thoroughly disgusted with this? When did politics become a soap opera? Who cares a twit what Paris Hilton thinks? I hate Hollwood more than I hate Congress, and that’s saying something.

Y’all are trying to turn McCain into a true blue conservative. He isn’t one, and won’t become one. HIs appeal is mostly to those just to the right of center where elections are decided. Yes, I wanted Fred to be the candidate, so he could punch liberals and hippies, but we have McCain. Instead of trying to make him be what he isn’t, let’s just encourage him to come closer. He might actually do that.

I have yet to see a single McCain ad here in Jacksonville, FL. crushliberalism on August 6, 2008 at 11:58 AM

The McCain campaign has spent exactly $0.00 in Florida.

Meanwhile, up here in Wisconsin, McCain’s face is on every channel every 20 minutes. There is NO way he will win Wisconsin……..is there?

Best quote yet out of team McCain, “Sounds like Paris has a better energy plan than Obama.”

OUCH!

Here we find the two-step ad strategy I speculated on Monday rolled into one tidy 30-second package: First demystify The One by making him ridiculous, then recast him as the true-blue lefty that he is.

Allah

Simple, obvious, brilliant, and long overdue. Great call.

The voting public are demanding energy independence and this does not mean five million more windmills. Demonizing Big Oil isn’t going to work this time for the left-tards as long as pocket books are getting emptied at the pump. McCain needs to stay on this message that we can drill our way out of this mess if the enviros and their million dollar lobbys and lawyers remain in check.

Follow the money trail and the agenda is apparent.

I have yet to see a single McCain ad here in Jacksonville, FL. But I’ve seen so many Barry O ads you can shake a stick at.

Memo to McCain: you really DO need to campaign in FL, you know.

I have to say, thus far McCain is much, much better when he’s on the attack against Obama than when he’s touting himself … at least if yesterday’s hideously bad “Washington’s Broken” ad was any indication.

McCain forgot to mention granting amnesty to millions upon millions upon millions of illegal cheaters with the intent of contaminating the US voting pool with people trained to get their way through lying, cheating, and stealing.

I think McCain should simply run an ad with Paris Hilton and then come back and proclaim that “Paris supports drilling” and then end with a rather frisky grin…everyone would get it!!!

Campaign ad suggestion…..
.
.
Open with prominent dems (including Obama) shaking their fingers at BIGOIL, and their “excessive” profits.

Next, show the dems crying for more ethanol.

Next, show that BIGOIL is actually the largest producers of ethanol.

Then, show Nancy Pelosi’s interview stumbling for words with Stephanopolis….and Obama’s “but,but,but”

The McCain team really needs to do a response ad to the Paris video calling her the world’s most inexperienced politician, with pictures of Obama added of course. They could charge that she’s never finished a term in the Senate and has never had to throw a single crazy pastor under the bus. Fun would be had by all.

Has anyone noticed that McCain’s ads are being voiced over by what sounds like a middle aged woman and not a creepy, undertoned movie voice? Subliminal Hillary vote…oh yes!

The McCain campaign has either brilliantly (or stumbled across) a way to turn Obama’s positive celeb status into a BIG negative.
.
The more celeb’s that come out for Obama – the more it makes him look like a celeb. >pounds desk< Ha!
.
Turning Obama’s overseas positive into a negative was equally impressive.
.
The McCain campaign is better than the candidate.
