Obama's New Ad "Original"



Obama is shooting at an open goal when he goes after McCain's "Maverick" image. Only the press, who travel with him eating donuts, still buy into the "Maverick" myth.

McCain has flip flopped to an astonishing extent to please the Christian right wing base of his party and, in doing so, has destroyed his own image as a "Maverick". Recently, he brought out an ad describing himself as the "original Maverick", a piece of vanity publishing that was ripe to ripped apart.

Obama's ad features McCain, in his own words, boasting of how often he voted with George Bush on the issues. "Over 90% of the time" he boasts. Maverick, my arse!
