Perhaps the leftist netroots are finally stepping it up:
Not the best editing work (I think the theme should be just a little easier to follow) but the juxtaposition of images is a winner and the message is simple enough.
Here’s the text:
Would you vote for a celebrity…
without much foreign policy experience…
who gives eloquent speeches…
in Germany!..
and talks to evil foreign leaders!…
and goes on and on about hope and optimism…
against a more experienced opponent with a naval background?
Ed Morrissey notes that the McCain campaign seems to be hitting their stride as well. Interesting the lasting imprint that Karl Rove has left on our political culture. Sullivan today:
Can you imagine how [Rove would] run against McCain in a general election? He’d put together an ad simply clipping those moments – and they’re not rare – when McCain pauses, searches for words, blinks heavily and seems out of it. He’d play the age card as brutally as some Republicans play the race card. Then he’d put together a temper ad, throw in a little “bomb, bomb Iran” footage, and craft an LBJ daisy ad, raising fears about McCain’s eagerness to start a nother war in the Middle East.
Incidentially, that Ed Morrissey post is a perfect example of the disingenuous tactics I referred to in the post below this one, which Obama opens himself up to by supporting the New Energy Reform Act. He writes:
Barack Obama will “launch” the energy policy today that he released late last week — before he began his reversal on off-shore drilling.
I used to be a big fan of Captain Ed, when he wrote for himself at Captain’s Quarters. A conservative through and through, but an objective thinker not bound by partisan politics and unafraid to whip his own when an honest man could see they were wrong. Now that’s he’s chosen a life as Michelle Malkin’s paid minion, he’s just another willing pawn of the agenda to perpetuate the state of ongoing campaigning through every political process. Ed knows I’m right. For a man of his former integrity, I’m sure it took a very heavy payday to compromise him.
