"I'm going to run a respectful campaign" - John McCain

Hypocrite who?

Now that he's losing FL/OH, McCain isn't just going negative, he's going personal and ad hominem. Next up will be Obama in a turban or something.

If you're going to lose, maybe go down with some dignity.

Look, air the ad if you want, play the clip of Obama saying "fundamentals", and let people make up their minds. But when you throw the word HYPOCRITE up on the screen in bold caps, I think you're going to turn people off.

at least McCain learned one lesson about where respectable campaigning gets you after 2000.

Can't believe he actually wasted money to make and air that ad.

It's like watching the captain of the Titanic play the blame-game when the ship is 90 degrees vertical.

AHAHAHA

McCain is trying to inoculate himself from the truth about Troopergate that will be released in two weeks.

Which ad run so far by either side is on par with directly calling the other person a hypocrite? Even the 'kingergarten sex' ad was something a normal person could laugh at since it asked the viewer to believe Obama (and half the Illinois legislature) wanted 6 year olds taught about intercourse and safe sex. It didn't throw up "PEDOPHILE" in big letters at the end of the ad either.

Actually I think Obama's camp has to be sitting there wondering where McCain is going to create trouble next.

McCains numbers are dwindling. His gimmicks carried him this far. He will most likely throw out there another monkey wrench or two. I mean, why the hell not right?

I think it has to be a valid concern for Obama.

Right from the Obama youtube page:
"Fundamentals" highlights how disturbingly out of touch John McCain is with what's going in the lives of ordinary Americans. On a day when Wall Street was in crisis John McCain continued to insist that the "fundamentals of the economy are strong."

The 'hypocrite' argument doesnt matter PJ.

Especially coming from McCain who might as well be talking about himself.

You're a putz and you cannot be helped. Go back to 1st grade, take a reading comprehension course, stop doing the drugs, then re-read my op, then edit your post to address anything I said.

So McCain should just copy the ad replacing himself with Obama?

Would be effective. And I am sure you would love it as well.

ProJo, you don't seem to understand that the economy is a failed issue for McCain.

Throwing out red meat for his base won't stop the landslide.

Woot Woot and a roddy toot toot.

McCain takes the gloves off, as we discover, underneath the gloves, we have wrinkly fists of flab, that ineffectually jab, and McCain goes gab gab gab.

The name of McCain's ferry boat is not GWB.

Obama was obviously talking about the American workers. ;)

Edit: When did Obama make that statement in the McCain ad?

The kindergarten sex ad was true though. Obama has ssaid he supports it - and his campaign has said SIECUS standards are a model. The weirdo "stranger danger" was just a cover. Its always telling when the O-peeps express shock that BO would ever do such a thing when he did. Shows they dont know their man.

The Obama quote in that ad sounds like it was clipped at the beginning as well as the end. I've grown used to McCain distorting Obama's statements by deleting qualifying language but this seems like a total distortion.

The only thing the ad proves is that McCain has thrown away any pretense of running an honorable campaign and is flailing around desperately (again). It's sad to witness what he has become in the twilight of his career.

It is weak. McCain's people should make an ad showing how BO was suing banks with ACORN
to make them take on more bad loans. Hopefully there are ads exposing all of BO's money and staff from the Fannie/Freddie peeps. Obama is abso-freeking-lutely filthy with connections to all that went wrong in financial mess.
