I don't know. This one (new window) and this one (new window) should definitely be in the running. Her ad was just silly. These ads are destructive.

I laughed at its sheer goofiness.

I live in the district, and after seeing this ad, I'm definitely going to vote for this guy.

SmackLT: That dude looks like a chick.

FTFA: She said it's on YouTube "because it's a way to reach people and a way to reach younger voters."

That dude is a chick.

I'm sure McCain will do far worse in the coming weeks.

Thanks for clarifying.

No, it's definitely this McCain ad!

I think the content of the ad wasn't half as confusing as the gender of the candidate.

Ironic that Obama was attacked for saying he didn't look like the guys on the money.

Good lord. If I was undecided that would definitely put in the Obama camp.

I have yet to see a single McCain ad where he talks about his positions. If he told you, you would run across the isle.

RadioAaron 2008-08-16 12:53:22 PM  
I made it exactly :28 through before I tapped out.

That said, I'd rather have a silly, fun, if not kinda awkwardly produced ad than one that is destructive and is full of smears, lies, and half-truths.

Nevah forget!

they must have spent a lot of their budget on the rights to that song

i mean, no political candidate would seriously use a song without first securing the legal rights, right?

Heh, when I first saw that, I thought, "What the hell?!" It goes nowhere. It makes no sense. Its premise is petty and its evidence flimsy. I hope every American voter sees that ad a hundred times between now and the election.

Obama '08

More like gets their 14 year old niece to tape and edit it in FCP. Nice keying job, too.

Or maybe this is a joke like those McCain Girls videos.

I've seen worse. Her ad was silly and poorly done, but it's far from the worst.

Not really related but I found this video that makes a good point in Gravel's youtube page.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EmcIlEIQtcs (new window)

/Why is Nader in Gravel's profile?
//Why is it that in US politics we have so many loonies that make some good points?
///Ron Paul, Ross Perot, Jesse Ventura, Nader, Kucinich, Gravel all have 10-25% of their ideas that are amazing, but hidden by boatloads of BS.
//Slashies should run on a third party.

Subby, why do you have so little faith in the McCain campaign?

/watches video

Wow, that was bad on a totally different level than anything McCain has done.

 
thesilence 2008-08-16 01:20:42 PM  
Ha, idk. It had sincerity and a sort of campy fun near the end that i found appealing. Also, it was a positive ad, which im all for.

Btw, if we are talking worst ads ever... How soon you all forget these gems:

What the hell? Where did the ads with hillary in the band go? Cant find it anywhere?

remember when people said that the mike gravel rock ad was brilliant and it would help him win by helping young voters (who are all into avant-garde art) identify with him?

thanks for the flashback

 
noheadphones 2008-08-16 01:30:31 PM  
I though the ad was very effective---she showed a good deal of personality in the out-take section..she comes across as self effacing, but serious. Horrible choice of music, but without knowing her politics, for me she came across as very likable.

And also, she didn't spend an insulting amount of money on the production (well, I hope so).

And for me, political ads may be necessary, but are, by nature, retarded.

I lol'd. Both at the ad and then at the ad suggesting that McCain thinks Photoshop is something other than the Kodak development kiosk at Walgreen's

I said when I first saw that that Obama should say "I thank Senator McCain for comparing me to George Washington, Abraham Lincoln, Theodore Roosevelt, Thomas Jefferson and Ben Franklin. I hope I can do just half as well as they did."

Wasn't the entire "absentee ballot" thing something that has been a controversy in Broward County? (I seem to recall it being an issue, perhaps I'm mistaken) If so, what may seem to be stupid to the rest of us, might actually be a point of contention in the election.
