Has the celebrity meme stuck? I was unaware. What's awesome is that Mike Myers, who owns the copyright to the Wayne's World footage in the McCain celebrity ad, asked the campaign to stop using it. McCain's response: "a celebrity backlash!"

Doesn't Obamaland look clean and appealing? All those strong blues and sunrise tones. Not sure about the visual coup of awarding McCain what seems to be a lengthy book, though. Gives him too much visual gravitas.

We won't support spine-less NO-Bama and will re-defeat him in November!!! Go Hillary 2012.

Got debt?

Cause the budget deficit TRIPLED this month compared to last year.

Not to mention 38 percent of all US corporations paid NO INCOME TAX this past year.

And John "Red Bush" McCain wants even MORE tax cuts for the ultra-rich and corporations.

Content aside, is anyone doing campaign ads without the stupid deep scary voice?

This ad is too vague. Saying McCain supported 95% of the Bush agenda doesn't make people say "WTF?". Obama needs to drive home the abrasive details of the Bush legacy that McCain and the neo-con Republicans supported. Divide and conquer. Blaming McCain's party of deregulation and greed for the housing crash would be a good start. Oh, and start using McCains don't know much about the economy lines.

Election years are like Christmas for scary, deep-voiced narrators.

Fees and royalties from this year keep 'em going for another four.
