John McCain 2008 - John McCain for President (http://www.johnmccain.com/video/love.htm - broken link)

Astonishing, almost. At any point is McCain going to try and tell the voters what _he_ will do (besides win this unwinnable war), or are we just going to keep hearing all about the big bad boogey man; Barack? This was also linked form the johnmccain.com homepage. I'd like to see the day when John McCain's face is on BO's homepage.
This just makes him look childish. Like the little kid who cries and blames the umpire when he strikes out.

PS - McCain campaign staff: the word "media" is the plural form of the word "medium". The sentence splashed all over your site "The media is in LOVE with Barack" is grammatically incorrect.

Wow, he needs to get a better handle of his campaign staff, and campaign as well. This could cause a pretty big backlash and make him look like a bitter underdog who's losing the race. He is not by any means, but videos like this reinforce that idea.

Someone else posted a thread with the "You're Just Too Good to Be True" video - it's great! It catches the Obamamania business quite well.

I clicked your link and the two videos are exactly the same (= real inspired creative team), they just have different theme music - both Frankie Valli, hmmm, strange.

I like YJTGTBT better than My Eyes Adored You, so even though I didnt enter my email address as instructed, I voted for it and got a "Thank You For Voting" response. (I suppose they get my email address via my IP anyway.)

So my questions are - why Frankie Valli? Why just one montage for two videos - just pick a song for God's sake and run with that - people watch one, start the other, see it's the same and tune out. And - why didnt they expend all this effort on making a great pro-Johnny Mac video?

OMG I don't believe it! Are they consumed with running a country and bettering the lives of its citizens or beating Obama? Can McCain say or do anything other then I won the war with the surge and Obama didn't and He is not a very good ........

Like the NYT asked/said what are you going to DO Senator McCain.

Can anyone say economy?

Really. Obama going to meet with Europe? Why isn't he home doing what he can for the masses, talking about the economy, instead of galavanting around the European countryside.

The subject is Johnny Mac's website's "Vote for Your Fave Frankie Valli Tune!" front page, complete with Valentine hearts, curly fonts and exclamation points. And the OP points out that Johnny's creative crew don't realize "media" is a plural word.

Nice hijack attempt though!

McCain needs new campaign management. Man, things are not going well for him but any Republican would lose against Obama.

Where's the humor? It was a fun jab at the media.

Did you even watch the vid? Did you think it funny? Appalling? Disgusting?
