The McCain Commercial the Dems Should Run


This from a friend who lives in the deep South:
 (I)f the Dems had even a half a lick of sense, this is the ad they would be running in response (to the one McCain "objects" to):
 
Unflattering photo of John McCain.  Voiceover: “When John McCain’s political party wanted to run a controversial advertisement, John McCain vowed to stop it.”  Roll footage of him saying the stuff about how he will bring to bear everything he could to stop it.  Cut to a black screen with graphics that read:  “The ad ran anyway.”  Cut to second black screen reading: 84 times (or however many it is, if it’s a lot).  Cut to another unflattering shot of McCain.  Voiceover:  “If John McCain can’t even lead his own political party, how can we expect him to effectively lead our nation?”
 
But of course the Dems would never run an ad like that.  It is much too effective.

They just might. I think Dean laid the groundwork with some of his comments, which are eerily similar to your idea for the ad.

I think they need to run an ad showing McCain handing bush a Cake while New Orliens drowned.

For those like me with back-and-forth problems:

Unflattering photo of John McCain.

Voiceover: “When John McCain’s political party wanted to run a
controversial advertisement, John McCain vowed to stop it.” Roll footage of him saying the stuff about how he will bring to bear everything he could to stop it.

Cut to a black screen with graphics that read: “The ad ran anyway.” Cut to second black screen reading: "84 times" (or however many it is, if it’s a lot). Cut to another unflattering shot of McCain.

Voiceover: “If John McCain can’t even lead his own political party, how can we expect him to effectively lead our nation?”

Oops.
