Here, for your viewing pleasure, is the newest attack ad from the Obama campaign:
The Obama campaign has been hammering pretty hard on McCain=Bush theme for awhile now, but I think this is the first time they’ve explicitly made the connection using pictures and video (a video I didn’t even know existed!). Honestly, if the Obama campaign keeps this up, I don’t see how McCain can recover, absent some major gaffe from Obama or Biden. The national mood may not be completely against Republicans, but it certainly is against Bush, and if voters begin to instinctually associate McCain with Bush, then it’s game over for the Republicans.

Awesome! I also really love how they did it, instead of doing the dark screen, ominous music, they did the ironic bright colors and happy music, and just made him look bumbling. It makes it stand out but doesn’t lose any of the “McCain = bad” message in the process.
Good work Team Obama. Keep it up. Please?
Ditto to what Cara said. I loved the light, ironic music and the play on “McSame.”
It’s like a twisted version of the Patty Duke show, but with dudes.
