Great, fantastic opportunity.

That ad was one of the most mundane things that could be put in front of a test audience with sleep disorders. This is the attack ad? We get a truckload of lemons and make this monumental piece of crap? We have to do better than this. This does NOT pack a punch. Who are we going after to tell this to? If you close your eyes, this is an ad from 2004 in style and pure epic banality.

1. Exactly how I reacted
Those who are making these ads need to understand what makes an ad message stick; and this one doesn't. Too long, too boring, and lacks a punch. Honestly, I think the creative types in DU could come up with something much more effective.

2. Challenge to DUer's to come up with better ad idea; here's mine
John McCain claims he's the most experienced candidate for President.

But John McCain's experience didn't keep him from supporting the Bush Administration's tragic and misguided invasion of Iraq ;

John McCain's experience didn't help him understand the difference between Sunni Al Qaeda and Shia Iran ;

John McCain's experience didn't help him to realize that Iraq and Pakistan don't share a border ;

And John McCain's experience doesn't seem to help him understand the central war on terror is in Afghanistan and Pakistan rather than Iraq.

What America needs, after 8 years of incompetence from the Bush Administration, isn't experience but good judgment. .

Barack Obama. Isn't it time we elected a President who can think before he acts?
