2008 The New “Harold, Call Me”?

John McCain’s latest attack on Obama…
…has some people noting the presence, at the end of ad, of young white women talking about how “dreamy” Obama is, what with with his “soft eyes” and all. (After which someone holds up a “Hot Chicks Dig Obama” button.) A subtle homage this infamous attack on Harold Ford?
Harold *Ford* actually.
(Washington is deceased Chi-town mare.)
@1, I'll never forget how much fun it was to live in a town governed by a female horse. Those were the days.
Meet the new McCain.
Same as the old Bush.
Got Stupid?
And the McCain campaign begins its descent into self-parody in 5, 4, 3...
Voting Democrat leads to interracial sex.
@5, which is more sex than I'm getting now, so it's Obama '08 for me.
@6 for the win.
Cynical, sarcastic assholes. And so are McCain's campaign people.
isn't rock star two words (unless it's the adjectival form such as 'rockstar looks')?
The "aura" comment (immediately preceding "soft eyes") is probably more timely.
I know any number of brighter people who have formed dumber attachments to Obama's image.
We won't support spine-less NO-Bama and will re-defeat him in November. Go Hillary 2012!!!
We spine-less Hillary support won't defeat Bama November NO re-GO 2012!!!
And of course, The McCain campaign PAID for use of that "Wayne's World" clip, no?
Or, would they be attempting to claim fair use for the purposes of satire, which, if so, who exactly is being satorized here?
I'm not sure it's who the McCain people think it is...
We spam spam spineless spam spam spam spam spam spam spam November. Spam spam 2012!!!
I like the bit about how he's going to raise taxes for "everyone earning more than $42,000 a year". In 2006, about 61% of the population of the U.S. had individual incomes under $42,000.
John McCain: he's looking out for you. As long as you make more money than most people.
@15
Yeah, it reminds me of a few years ago when republican were running around describing the "Middle Class" as earning $300,000 a year to help cover up the fact that their base is mostly rich white guys.
Remember, only you can triple the federal budget deficit while doubling the US trade deficit!
Death to the Middle Class!

Clintonsarmyofone, you mean.
The ad is ageist, not racist. Notice how every supporter is a 20-something or younger. I can't think of a group of people voters dislike more. They generally think most young people are idiots.
Of course, it's twentysomethings that are producing the radio they hear, the stories they read in the news, ad nauseum. But whatever.
