Very much desperation. I hadn't seen the ad but I've heard it talked about endlessly on the radio. It's lower than I thought.
My prediction: In a few weeks McCain backs out of the race sighting "health reasons". When really its the Republican party putting the screws to him saying he's got no chance in winning the election. They then put up someone like Jed Bush (or possibly whoever McCain picks as his running mate in the next few weeks).
McCains Favorite band is ABBA. So I was thinking a really harmless but truthful counter ad could be him (or someone who looks like him) dancing blissfully to Dancing Queen on the White House lawn at sunset.
The voice-over would say "At least he's still got some moves".
This shit might be working. Stay tuned.
the fact that mc cain likes ABBA is the only good thing about him. i'm with vidor-- this is the angle that could work. months back, karl rove offered up that obama's weakness is that he's "cooly arrogant," and i think mc cain just found his narrative. i think we're gonna see this implicitly for the rest of the campaign: barack obama thinks he's better than you. the fight against hillary is gonna really help mc cain on this front too. i hope she's out there in public supporting obama (in fact, being that the other options like nunn and bayh are unexciting, i think it might actually work to have her as VP), because the narrative of him 'acting like he's better than her" could come back to haunt him.
obviously it's a bummer that a non-issue like this would take center stage. but what else does mc cain have to go with? all of his policies have failed during bush's years, and people don't care enough about "the surge" to concentrate on that.
