Creepy.
McCain's gentle voice doesn't make for very good impressive speech material, though.

Why don't they just throw in Edison's first recording of Mary Had A Little Lamb if they want to associate McCain with other relics of bygone eras?

Maybe some caveman paintings of men hunting with spears... Caribou were the terrorists of their day.

This seems like something Hitler would do if he was doing his thing today. And was, you know, web-savvy and drunk on hatorade.

He's got the dead white guy vote for sure. I'm predicting that dead white guys will be the soccer moms of 08.

I was pained by the dated patriarchy and violence celebrated in the clip ... until I saw the pretty color pictures of little girls at the end. Then I was nauseated by idea that women are precious, childlike, and need to be protected by war-hardened old men.
