The great Britney and Barack Obama video
Nooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo.
The latest McCain video makes every mistake it is possible to make.
First, it intercuts pictures of Britney Spears and Paris Hilton with Barack Obama. The ideas is to make Obama look small. Instead it makes McCain look small. The video shows that they don't get it. They are making a video that appeals to the people making it, and to their view of Obama, not to voters.
Listen, if most people agreed that Obama was like Britney, he wouldn't be a superstar and you wouldn't need to make this ad at all.
Second, the video shows vast crowds shouting "O-ba-ma!". This is supposed to be an attack video, for goodness sake. A vast crowd cheering Obama is about the most potent pro-Obama message you can possibly send.
I honestly wonder if the McCain people know what they are doing.
