I've seen ads and I've seen ads that work and I've seen ads that don't work and well, this ad is simply gloriously devastating in ways that actually explain current polling.
Obama's newest negative spot shifts away from health care policy and attacks McCain's temperament head-on.
The unreleased ad, which aired in at least Virginia, quotes newspaper descriptions of McCain having "careened from stance to stance," been "erratic," and "poured gasoline on the economic mess."
"Yes, McCain's been erratic. What he hasn't been is on your side," says the narrator.
Script
I'm Barack Obama and I approved this message
Sen McCain and Governor Palin talk about Experience, A steady hand
But in this Economic Crisis, it's McCain whose careened from stance to stance
Been Erratic
Poured Gasoline on the economic mess
All while promising more failed policies that give tax breaks to big corporations but almost nothing to the middle class
Yes, McCain's been erratic
What he hasn't been is on your side
End Ad
OUCH
Update: Slightly off topic, but this is a must see:
You gotta love these guys at this point...
