Weaver on McCain Ad: "Childish"; On New Negative McCain: "Like Asking Wilt Chamberlain to Play Point Guard"

"John McCain right now - he's spending an awful lot of time talking about me. You notice that? I haven’t seen an ad yet where he talks about what he’s gonna do."

This from a guy whose "policy" is essentially two undefined words--HOPE and CHANGE--and who has been all over the place on issue after issue!

"You need to ask John McCain what he's for and not just what he's against."

This from a guy who spends his time running down a McCain presidency as "Bush's third term"!

Sure, McCain is an extremely poor candidate. But I suspect that against Barack "An Echo, Not a Choice" Obama, with his conspicuous lack of substance (other than the Ludacris 'vote for him cause he's black' tack), McCain might manage to win. I'm not sure it will be worth hearing all the aggrieved conspiratorial talk for the next four years, though. ("They fixed the election! Diebold and Fox News wouldn't let a black man be president!") Maybe it's better to let Obama become the new Jimmy Carter for the next four years so that we can all see what a lack of substance his presidency will really have.

Actually, McCain should be commended for holding back, as there are tons of dirty laundry that could, and should be aired, about Obama, the liar, fraud, inexperienced, embarassment to the US. Trust me though, if you think this is bad, the GOP will launch even more after August. Obama doesn't stand a chance, his past will come back to haunt him, and people will finally see the truth.

It's obvious:Obama has inspired millions of people. McChildish is inspired by Briney Spears & Paris Hilton. Haaaaa

"could have sworn that John McCain said earlier this year that his campaign was going to take the high road"........Howard Gallas

Maybe this is the high road for McCain, he seems to have lost all moral fiber he ever had in his increasingly desperate, desperate try for the white house.

Actually the adds tell it like it is.

Poor ole John, losing his bearings again.

If he thinks Obama is Britany and Paris, who does he think he is himself, Theta Bara and My West.

You change your tactics according to the conditions on the ground, right? How can you convey rational messages effectively to people who are high? You cool them first, by getting them over their illusions.

clarity,

Plus the fact that all the media is commenting how the photo of Obama in the last frame of the ad is the best one ever taken of him. McCain's campaign almost looks like they are promoting Obama.

hey rachel,

FYI, McCain has done all those mags. McCain hasn't done Oprah, but did go on the View. Is there a point to your post?

McCain's mudwallow is pathetic. Why doesn't he talk about the issues? Is it because he he can't keep track of his position?

Yes, Barack, once again, it's all about you.

Well the media is treating him like he is a celebrity, and he's going on access hollywood, Oprah, in people mag, instyle mag, vanityfair etc etc soooo maybe he should maybe cool it with that type of stuff.

I could have sworn that John McCain said earlier this year that his campaign was going to take the high road........what has happened to change his approach? In fact, I thought that he said that the American people wanted, and deserved, better......what has happened to change his approach? Simple put: I guess that John McCain has nothing positive to say. In fact, he has NOTHING TO SAY about how he's going to move our country forward. How sad.......McCain.......more of the same old politics as usual!

i am very glad you see what is happening-as much of the 50 and older gang are living in the past and refuse to see how brilliant obama is-----the reason most older people will not vote for him is because they still have that same old attitude-----what the last 8 years have cost us is unbelievable--

McCain is DISGUSTING.

Childish is a moderate adjective. McCain is spending a lot of $$$ on negative ads which carry the caveat of his approval. The negativity reflects poorly on McCain. He continually waffles on his stand on the economy, the housing mess, energy costs, health care, social security, and all the other problems this country faces and all along the Iraq war sits like the elephant in the living room while the mess in Afghanistan is the rat in the corner. McCain is not demonstrating leadership; he's demonstrating churlishness and causing some voters to wonder if he may be suffering the onset of senile dementia.

Yea, its like all I ever see Mcain doing is bashing Obama and vice versa. I know that political debates have quite a bit of that same kind of "bashing" but in all honesty I think they need to focus more on other things.

Amen and well said. This is about US! and this isn't 2004!

WE can and WE will!

I have had it. I have never participated in politics before and I am 54 years old. I am pissed off at McCaine and the Republicans with this last ad about “Obama being empty and he is like Parris Hilton”. First it was “Obama would rather lose a war to win an election” and “He did not visit wounded troops in Germany because cameras were not allowed in the hospital”. Bla h! Blah! Blah! This is very insulting and demeaning stuff from the Bush, Karl Rove, and the McCaine campaign. I was not going to donate to the Obama campaign until after the convention. I was going to respect McCaine since he is such an older man and sacrificed so much during the Vietnam War. Now all the gloves are off. But now McCaine and the Republicans have done it. I will start by donating to the Obama campaign to night. Then I will go and volunteer at the Obama campaign office that just opened in our small town 2 weeks ago. I hope all the Obama supporters start the Fall campaign tonight. We have to do the heavy lifting. Obama and Michele and the girls need to go on vacation. I am ready for the fight for the Nov. 4 elections. McCaine and the Republicans have no idea who or what they are dealing this campaign season.
