You'll have to try and keep up with all of the specific policy details he outlines at breakneck speed.

The real question is:


Will the Democrats release an Ad exposing the narrator of the ad as a man who played a fascist with his finger on the button on the show 24?

Wow, that's an awful ad. And people say Obama only speaks in platitudes?

And I think Australian political advertisements are bad. This McCain ad is one of the worst I have ever seen. Though it's not as bad as Hillary's ad that she used in Wisconsin criticising Obama for not having a debate in Wisconsin.

That line reminded me of the 'American Dodgeball Association of America' from Dodgeball.

Yeah I LOL'ed when I heard that too. If we can just say American enough people will overlook how bad this ad is and that the guy doing the voiceover was the bad guy in the last season of 24. Come on John, I know you're a 24 fan you should know that this guy was the BAD dude.

Really not a very good ad. Wont say its the worst but its really completely bland and ordinary.

Wow... who ever it was who put that one out should be fired.

Admittedly, its hard to write ads when you don't know who you are juxtaposed to, but still....

That's a new ad? I could have sworn I heard parts of it before. Maybe an ad similar to it was used in the primary. Anyway, the ad's not that good but I tend to think most ads this cycle have been pretty bad. The only one I really thought has had good ads so far was Mitt.

Well sure it does, given that the American electorate don't seem to care about actual issues any more.

So how many ads now have ended with McCain getting questioned after being shot down during combat? Do they expect this to bring in sympathy votes or something? I honestly dont understand...and overall the rest of the ad was bad.
