This is yet another McCain ad which I haven't seen yet (I saw two new ones airing in Virginia which I'll add to this diary when McCain posts them online). However, I have to wonder what McCain was thinking with this one:
OK. Is McCain sure he wants an ad pointing out all the gaffes and mistakes of his opponent's running mate? Really?
Also, isn't this lowering expectations for Biden by showing him as a bumbling gaffe machine? Isn't that about the opposite McCain wants to do?

Bonus Ad
I just had to add this just because I think it's a great ad. Obama should hire off whoever is doing Franken's ads for the DSCC.
Man in ominous voice: Al Franken sank this ship, crashed these trains, and he hates puppies! Man: Norm Coleman's attacks on Al Franken have gotten pretty ridiculous. The truth: Al Franken overpaid his taxes, and it didn't cost you a penny. Norm Coleman? He voted for billions to rebuild Iraq, for huge tax breaks to oil companies and against cheaper prescription drugs. And Minnesotans have paid the price.
