15. That's what I'm talking about
Stop giving this guy a free ride.

bring his scandalous career out into the open.

Make sure everybody understands this guy is filthy, filthy rich and has nothing in common with us.

And make sure America thinks long and hard of the risks of putting such an old man in power, considering what a weak grasp he has on contemporary issues. The only time it would make sense to go with a person that old if he demonstrated a great wealth of knowledge accumulated over a lifetime of intellectual inquisition. This guy is just a stupid old man, nothing more, nothing less.

Take off the gloves. Don't make the mistake of assuming that Americans will figure this out on their own.

5. Yep ... better
Starting to hit McSame where he needs to.

Still there's soooo much more to hit him with.

People don't know who Reed is and probably don't care. Chances are that they'll mentally tune out.

How about a commerical at a dinner table with the announcer telling an American how much the Bush administration has cut back the FDA and the EPA, how it's anyone's guess just what might be in that burger, or floating in that glass of tap water.

Cut to shot of McSame hugging Bush ... announcer, "Time for an adminstration that will appoint an open government that will hold people accountable."

16. McCain's Neocon Advisers
I have heard that Obama does not like to use the word necon because he considers it decisive.

If Americans knew half of the ideas of McCain's advisers: invading Syria, Iran, etc. it would truly frighten the voters.

23. So right -- did you mean derisive though?
This has to come from him -- from Barrack.

7. Now, THAT'S the sort of fighting back we need...!
Obviously, one spot about Reed/Abrahamoff isn't going to do it, but a whole series deflating McCain's current image of "respected war hero" in favor of showing him to be "just another politician" who will give us "more of the same"...? Let's do it!

This is a cool video that you might want to check out.

We're doing all we can to expose this video, if you could check it out and let us know what you think that would be great.
Thanks,

12. That Rocked. I said it before. Ralph Reed is an unconvicted Criminal: He needs to go to jail.
Sen. McCain intentionally made sure Reed did not testify. There is your John McCain. More of the Same.

19. I like that he "approves the message" before the ad runs instead of after.
It leaves the message "We just can't afford more of the same" lingering in the air. Nice capture of McSame being all buddy-buddy with bush, too.

Ralph Reed's political star crashed to earth over the Abramoff scandals, thank goodness. For a while it looked like he had a clear shot at the presidency, or at least the Repub nomination.

48. It also tells you up front that it's the official word from the candidate
Instead of leaving you wondering until the end.

35. I think it's making some strong points...
...and backing them up with evidence. Just the kind of exposé we need to help define McCain as what he is to the people who don't know him yet. Not nasty, just truthful and hard-hitting.

It's about damn time. Obama needs to get his ass in gear and really frame McCain for the right-wing, incompetent, lazy, corrupt Senator that he is.

49. Honestly, I expected him to wait until after the convention.
I think they may be hitting back earlier than planned. I'm not sure if this is the beginning of a trend or a series of warning shots at the McCain campaign. As in "Is this really the game you want to play? Because we'll hand you your ass in that one too."

Is there more? Hell yea. LOTS more. But this is a great start. Still need those sound byte type ads as well, but targeted at the right audience ads like this will be devastating.
