Has anyone noticed the price of gas go down about 20 cents over the last month?

Or is this an isolated incidence?

Good ad.

He would be better off making it a " choice " election , attacking is one way to do it.

However I suspect a response would include inflate your tires and use tire gauges.

That is one of the weirdest comment by a political candidate this season , even if it has some truth in it.

The ad is a little unfair, but I don't really care.  I'm glad Obama is hitting McCain more aggressively and hope he keeps it up.

About time.  Good ad.
 When are the dems going to get an "agent" to bring McCain's unfitness to the front page?  That stroke or "event" he had in Fla is enough to give anyone concern about his capacity for this job.  That and stamina.  The press talks about his 2-3 hour work day all the time..among themselves.  It's time for a national dialogue on this.

that showed that people viewed Dole's ads as very negative, but they didn't view Clinton's ads the same way. Clinton had a lot of ads like this one, that were negative for the first 20-25 seconds with a positive pivot about the Democrat at the end. Apparently that makes a big difference in how the attack ad is perceived.

I like this ad very much.

it's nice to see him hitting back...kinda hypocritical to tie McSame to bush on oil though when Obama voted for the bush energy bill and McSame against it.

Or else he is stuck with the old problem of people wanting something without taking any consideration into account of how to pay for it.

John McCain is the unabashed sponsor and cheerleader for the biggest foreign policy fiasco in American history.  His claim to be a superior Commander in Chief is a joke, because he cannot make the proper strategic decisions.

How about taking that theme up in an ad, Barack?

That is a good ad.  The little index card inside Obama's briefcase needs to say BUSH'S THIRD TERM.

It's a good start, but I want to see Obama hit McCain with ad after ad, really hitting him hard, and often, constantly attacking McCain on his policies, his flip-flopping, his closeness to Bush, his vast weaknesses.  I really want an aggressive response to the smear the GOP is throwing.  It would be best for the 527s to hit his character, with personal attacks, that Obama cannot make (or even condone).  Fire with fire.

Matt.J.H. has an excellent post on why Obama can't afford to take the high road on ads.  His post is in the comments section and bears repeating.

Full disclosure, I'm a 38yo Hillary man (but not a PUMA!) so I may not be as invested in this post-partisan candidate yet...

BUT

I can tell you one thing, Hill would not be playing Rocky right now and letting McNumnuts land unanswered punches. Though I am glad to see the Obama campaign ratchet this up a bit, there is no VISCERAL response to the past week and I see another Gore/Kerry/above the fray/we're better than that/policy wonk ass-handing in the works here if they keep this up through October.

Shrill? Yes.
Unfounded? No.

I'm a life-long liberal that is damn tired of letting my ideologues fail me because they don't have the will to fight on the terms of the day's political landscape.

BO, I beg of you. After the next low-blow from Team Rove II, come out and say, "Ayte, that's it. I've had about enough of this. I didn't want to go here, but I have no choice." And tie those f'rs to Bush up down left and right and in no uncertain terms. Mock him, expose his hypocrisy, and belittle the conservative movement. Get some dirt on you and come out the other side the victorious leader of millions of grateful Americans.  

Better yet, let's do that before the next attack.

Obama's message of HOPE! can and should have a transformative effect on the world, I'm all in, but first we need him to be that scrappy politician willing to do what is needed in order to win. A person who vanquishes his foes can still deliver the message of hope, maybe even more effectively since he has proven his willingness to fight mightily for it.

I'll second JerryColorado's message.

you're also likely to hear that obama took more money from oil execs than any other candidate....

maintaining proper tire pressure is also a good way to avoid getting injured, killed or injuring or killing someone else in a car accident.

Maybe it's part of McCain's job plan, though. In the good case, improperly inflated tires ultimately lead to premature wear which will require more trips to the mechanic and hence, more job hours.

In the bad case, however, improperly inflated tires lead to car accidents, trips to the hospital and sometimes, trips to the morgue.

However, somebody has to do the dirty work so it appears under-inflated tires is a win-win-win situation for John McCain.

Beat that drum, Johnnie, beat that drum.
