New McCain, Obama TV Ads Attack Each Another

John McCain is more of the same, 95 % of the time he voted with Bush, some maverick! If you liked the last eight years, vote for McCain, you'll love the next four with the inexperience of Palin... She has already made many ingenious statements; she was for the bridge to no where before she was against it. How can she be trusted?
Peggy Noonan’s recent open mike Quote: "It's over." "Is that the most qualified woman they could have turned to?" "They went for the political bullshit about narratives."We're cringing.” End of quote; tells you what the true GOP party Faithfull’s think.
Vote for real change, vote for the Obama/Biden ticket.

I'm interested in the visual messages in the two different ads. Can someone please tell me what the building/column is in the intial shot of the crowds surrounding Obama? Of course I recognize the capitol but I'm not sure about the other structure? Thanks.

"McCane is the only sane solution. Obama is the one who will cost you your job, cause you to lose your house, and put you in the soup lines." NEWS FLASH: THIS IS ALREADY HAPPENING. Without Obama in the White House. Have you been in a coma? In 8 years what has the GOP done for you? Are you better off? Have more money? Feel any safer? THIS is what is being referred to when people say we can't afford 4 more years of the same! Beyong calling him a "maverick" what can you show that proves McCain will do things any differently?

McCain/Palin "Ready on Day One". To do what? The unending chinese fire drill that is the imploding McCain-my-own-party-isn't-behind-me-crapstorm-that-is-the-"vetting"-of-Palin doesn't do a thing to instill confidence in this ticket. It just feels and smells like more incompetence from the GOP. Gustav was like having chickens come home to roost. Rhetoric and talking points aren't going to do much to get McCain the POTUS job.

I'm looking forward to the ads mocking Obama's ties to Wright, Rezko, Ayers, Pflegmer (lol), etc...

History will show that Bush has done a great job of keeping our country strong, unlike the Jimmy Carter days of global appeasement, 444 day American hostages, and 17% mortgage rates. Obama would be Jimmy Carter's 2nd term. Just what this country DOESN'T need!

The irony of Gov Palin vetoing sex education money..........

What did the Republican Party do when they were in power?

The Republicans want to change?

The GOP is moving on from what?

They have yet to admit any mistakes so, why do they need to hide from the last 8 years?

Did the White House make mistakes? Is that why Bush and Cheney can’t be seen at any McCain/Republican events? Not even at the Republican National Convention?

Is the Republican Party John McCain’s now?

What do the Republicans do to "move forward"?

Which way were Republicans moving our country before?

I find it ironic that the Dems spout that 10 billion a month will be spent on war effort when they are the ones who control congress and fund the warchest.

Even with a scheduled pullout, whoever is in office will be spending 10 billion a month for the war, Obama or McCane.

Without stability in the areas of conflict, we will just have to go back in and spend even more money. At least McCain will finish the job and prevent us from going in a third time.

As far as national debt, I want to make it very clear, Clinton may have balanced the budget, but he never came close to clearing the national debt!

Obamas agenda is typical of the Dem agenda, if he gets 1T in taxes, he will spend 1.2T.

While McCain will demand that the pork stops here. If he gets 1T in tax and only spends half, the country will get a good part of that back while clearing some of the national debt!

Yes, Obama runs around like one of those actors in the commercial for people who are having to re-learn their everyday behaviors without a cigarette in their hand......................

Do you McCain devotees know what 10 trillion in debt means? Do you appreciate the devaluation of the dollar and thus your investments? Those and no money to fix any infrastructure is the legacy from Reagan to W by pushing taxes on the middle class away from the rich. We really do need a real leader like Obama.

Tsss... Sarah Palin. She's self-combusting. NEXT!

About the subject at hand, the videos:

From a purely professional point of view, the GOP-one about Obama is too long and too complicated. The producers really tried to cram too many messages and too much information into one ad. Which is not surprising, I guess, knowing that McCain's campaign coffers are not that big at the moment. So they can produce fewer ads and buy fewer slots.

The Obama one is much clearer, as it tries to bring across one message: that McCain is 'The Same' as Bush. The ad starts with a statement, of McCain being the same as Bush, and then backs it up with various quotes and images.
Easier to remember for the average viewer.
Obama has a lot more money to burn, and it shows; he can make a lot of different, one-subject ads, and buy more slots.

And that's where Obama simply has an advantage over McCain. There's no denying that, from whichever political camp one hails.

The Obama media is like a bunch of little rats running in circles.

They are so afraid of Sarah Palin they're in a panic to stop her.
They're like those obnoxious swarming papparazi.

It will come back to bite them.
America will relate to Palin in a way Obama never could--she really is one of us.

Obama says McCain votes with Bush 90% of the time.
Guess who Obama votes with 98% of the time? Pelosi and Dean with a 9% approval rating.

Obama, Dean,Pelosi running the country.
And they say Palin as president is scary.

Obama has said he is more qualified to be president than Palin because he has been campaigning.

He forget to mention his biggest strengths: 300 advisors and the media in his pocket.

Palin balanced a budget of $8 billion and had 24,000 employees working for her.
But hey Obama had 140 working days in the Senate listening to speeches.

The Dems spout, "Four more years."

Lets get this straight, McCane is not Bush, never has been Bush, and never will be Bush. He is a MAVERICK, someone who deal with the problems here at home and not turn tail and run from the terrorists and tyrants of Iraq and Afghanistan. He is not a "quitter" and will be persistent and finish the dirty job that everyone was calling for.

He will lower gas prices by offshore exploration allowance (exploration is not production, by the way). When OPEC hears how much oil we have discovered off our shores and in Alaska, they will be forced to lower prices on the threat that we start massive production. This alone will provide the gas price relief we need to badly right now.

How quick has the government been forced to change in the past? At a snails pace! Obama preaches change, but its just hot air and almost impossible to implement, as history well shows.

Massive change will create an atmosphere of the unknown, and when we are unable to depend on some stability in the infrastructure of the economy, investors get scared and will move their money from business investment to safe storage. Can we afford to have lackluster investment due to "Change"?

Mccain is the one who will create a stable economy without massive high and low swings that always effect the poor the hardest in our country.

McCane is the only sane solution. Obama is the one who will cost you your job, cause you to lose your house, and put you in the soup lines.

"The Tony Rezko "report" is coming at the end of October.

Obama's name will be in there."

You mean Rezko's sentencing.

Why would Obama's name come up during that? He hasn't been part of the trial.

I would like to see the promotion records from Michelle Obama while she was in control of the businesses she led. I would bet they are racially biased given her strong words in her college term paper.

As far as Barack, we know that he fought vigorously for the African anti-apartheid movement, which I give him praise for, but what about the problems in this country at this time? This was a time when there was a huge epidemic of crack cocaine, untold numbers of killings by street gangs around the country, poor education rates among certain racial minorities, high teenage pregnancy, and high unemployment among African American racial minorities. During this time, how come he wasn't focusing his attention on the issues at home?

If Barack becomes president will we see a change in any of this behavior? Will he focus on America first? I doubt it.

"I find it incredible that when asked about Palin's experience, Obama failed to mention her role as governor and went straight to her mayorship of a small town."

Her executive experience as mayor was far longer than her stint as Governor.

Makes sense to respond to that when the question was "What do you say to people who say she has more executive experience she has"

He wanted to make sure it was known what executive experience she relied on. And that is mayor of a small town in Alaska...which she ran into the ground in the form of $20M+ in debt.

"I would not be ready to be President in 2008"

Obama in 2004

"Obama is not ready to be President"
Joe Biden 2008

OOPS!!!

Speaking of powerful and which speaks the truth,

Obama is on video admitting he'd be nowhere near ready to be president in 2008.

Nothing like getting it straight from the horses mouth!

:) This is fun.
