A Seven Figure Anti-McCain Ad Buy

A 501 (c) 4 called the Campaign to Defend America is behind what they're calling "McSame"

A spokesman said that cost of the buy is in the low seven figures.

lame. Why would you spend so much money to direct an add to already devoted demo voters. I would thing the independents would be the target audience.

The message is a good strategy.

You need to force McCain to reject the Bush administration or tie him directly to it. It is one of the most unpopular administrations in the history of polling right now. It's his ball and chain.

I guess they won George Soros' money.

This is very much a shot at the independents, and a reinforcement against the defection or reagan dems. Linking a guy to a president with a 20-30% approval rate is by definition a broad message

Isn't putting "Mc" in front of something an anti-Irish slur?

dt: When liberals utter what some might to be slurs from their frame of reference, the problem isn't that they're slurs at all but that that the frame of reference is wrong and is not taking into account the historical oppression of liberals by the hegemonic conservative oppressors, those who are the only ones capable of uttering smears and slurs.

Here's more on the group.

This is what happens when George Soros gives his money to people who decide that it's neato-skeeto to make commercials that preach to the choir.

Dumb, dumb, dumb!

This is about as effective as showing Obama hugging someone who killed someone while driving drunk.

Very funny ad! It'll make people think less
about the McShenanigans that Bill would
be pulling in the WHITEHOUSE if Hillary
drags him back there.
