Obama Releases New Ad Today

Great ad. Doesn't even have to call names to be wildly effective. This pretty much nullifies any sane argument for McCain. If the guy had a platform to run on, he would. He doesn't, so he's got insults, accusations, and lies.

If Obama can channel this tone tonight, then I think he'll still look pretty good after the slimefest draws to a close. To take it a step further, if the Democrat can manage to hit back from a position of strength, consistently tying McCain's negatives to the issues McCain is desperately trying to avoid, then I think Obama will come off as the stronger, more serious, more presidential looking candidate.
