YouTube - "Low Road" TV Ad

Perfect. Addresses the old Rove style negative ads, then goes into a brief discussion of his policies.

Hmmmm....

I thought the low road was when Obama played the race card this week? You know, Obama has no thoughts, no policy, so all he can fall back on is the color of his skin....play the victim....poor Obama......

The low road, imo, would be the lying negative ads that McCain put out, as well as the fact that he turned on his previous statement that he would not be playing the ad game that way this election. I think this ad addresses that perfectly.

Obama is content to let Moveon.Org do the dirty work right now.

And......Obama turned on his statement. Obama was going to be about racial healing.......and then what did he do this week? Obama played the race card.
Pathetic.

This is the new thing to grasp to this week?

I'm talking about ads here. This is the right style of ad in my opinion. Address what you think the opponent has done wrong briefly, then go into your plan.

I don't see McCain talking about his policies in the other ad...

If there's one phrase I'd like to see banned from the english language, its any iteration of "playing the race card".

I'd prefer if it attacked how utterly vapid McCain's entire campaign is a little harder, but its a decent ad.
