Andrew Sullivan points to a superb anti-McCain ad that is sincerely compelling.
It’s far and wide the best ad since the general election began. It’s extremely professionally done — great, vivid imagery with standard “washed-out” effects, great added shakiness to cameras to trigger emotions of uneasiness. It also features the best “McCain=Bush” line of comparison that I’ve heard so far — that not only has McCain voted with Bush, but that the percentage has increased almost as steadily as the public’s opinion of Bush has declined.
As I watched, I was eagerly awaiting an end with the normal “I’m Barack Obama and I approve this message” jargon…but none was found. Nope, it’s not from the Obama camp, but from a normal YouTuber.
Kind of sad. I love the Internet (clearly!), but I know that there’s a limited audience when YouTube is involved. It won’t reach the people who really need to see this, which is disheartening, because it should be seen by all.
