Did you guys get up late for work?

Seriously, I could do a search on YouTube myself.

I'm shrinking from years of neglect. Will no one play with me?

Good tie-in of of 90% voting thing

JB@1 set up some google alerts for yourself and never show your sad, pathetic, fat, old man face here again.

Too little too late.

Wish Obama would have realized a couple of months ago politics in America is a death sport, not a game of chess.

Where's it going to play?

I agree it's a wonderful ad - and TRUE! - but it needs to be on TeeVee. Not just You-Tube.

Where are Bill and Hillary?

I'd like to see some EXAMPLES in the ad, not just quotes from the NYT. Independent voters hate the NYT; they call them the "MSM", and McCain has an argument against them all ready: "they hate me".

I know they can state the facts of the "Bridge to Nowhere" lie, and the "never took earmarks as governor" lie, in just a few short words. Why don't they?

@5 - You know, at least trolls like John Bailo are unabashed about the fact that they want McCain to win...what's your excuse? Keep the defeatism and negativity to yourself and shut the fuck up.

yeah, I agree with Fnarf (@8) -- it would be great if Obama would run some rapid fire Daily Show style then/nows.

@9, go lick yourself in the corner would you? And find a Democrat with a ball sack who will actually try to win an election.

It's about fucking time. It's a great ad, though I hope it's not "too little, too late," as Cato said.

Unfortunately, he's right, American politics are a death sport--hopefully McCain is the one that will die.

Too LATE? We've got seven more weeks of this. They're just getting warmed up.

It's not too late. It's only now that the swing voters are even starting to pay attention.

@3
I know this post is a shame - Bailo's penis and balls left him years ago.

>> hopefully McCain is the one that will die.

Yeah... Me, too. Except I fear putting out such energy to the universe will boomerang...

Who would the repugs put up instead? Sarah? She'd be open game then, wouldn't she? (Like the wolves she shoots from a plane?)

@14 is probably right. It's the time of year where most people are actually starting to pay attention.

We don't have six weeks though, not in WA -- mail-in ballots get sent out Oct 19, so voting starts as early as the next day or so when ballots get received.

I suppose the swing voters won't be the ones dutifully checking off candidates and mailing it off at 8AM October 21st, though.

I realized only this morning that the only political ads I've seen this year are the online ones like this.

Where/when are these ads airing, assuming they do air on TV...?

We've had tons of them on TV in Wisconsin. Nearly every commercial break has a few.
