The response to the spill has been abysmal.
The point is it has no reason being in the ad. She is just trying to pull at peoples heart strings which is dishonest.

Does anyone think there's a likelihood of a Palin-Angle Tea Party ticket in 2012?

And I still shake my head that people fall for this junk. Regardless of anyone's political spectrum, I find it difficult to believe that people believe these overly ominous ads. I suppose that's the point. The marketers know precisely what their base fears and pounce upon it. And if you take notice, it's all fear driven.

As for the 'race card'....it's just something I've noticed for years in campaign ads. Again, it goes back to the constituents they're trying to reach and the fears that drive those constituents. i.e., "Take America Back".

What I know is my America is diverse. Always has been.

In the ad, she throws out a lot of things (Iran, the oil spill), but it's not clear that she'd be in a position to do anything about those issues if elected, either.
