McCain launches the most feeble attack Ad so far.



The McCain camp obviously hope that attacks like this, where they quote Obama out of context in an attempt to make him appear delusional, will be successful. But I have a funny feeling that they are way off base here. This particular ad only succeeds in making the McCain camp seem as if they are very worried and are responding in an infantile manner.

The line that Obama had played the race card actually had some traction, if only because no-one could believe that McCain would be so cynical as to make the charge without merit. However, they seem keen to drop that matter now as, in truth, McCain never looked very comfortable around the subject.

Their latest ad is simply stupid. The Democrats could launch ads warning the country of the danger of electing someone old enough to suffer from dementia and who keeps making mistakes about the Iraq Pakistan border and al Qaeda's links to the Iranians but I am pleased to say that they are too classy to go down such a cheap route.

McCain is not.

UPDATE:

The Young Turks have lots to say about this latest ad. Cenk makes a very good point, Republicans don't have a very good sense of humour. And I agree that Obama needs to stop playing defence and should attack, but he should attack what McCain is offering, four more years of Bush policies, rather than attacking McCain himself.
