For the past few weeks, John McCain has been airing uncontested ads on airwaves across battleground states. With news that the Obama campain will forgo public financing, it’s clear that they plan on targeting a lot of states with plenty of ads.
His first ad seems pretty strong, hitting home the message that he […]
The Obama campaign has made it clear early on that they would not let the Republican attack machine attack them without a response. After setting up a “Fight the Smears” site this week, Obama himself declared at a meeting yesterday, “If they bring a knife to the fight, we bring a gun.”
From the […]
McCain’s up with his first General Election Ad. Named “Safe,” it’s a classic McCain ad where we trumpets his military record. There also seems an implication here not to trust the other guy, he won’t keep America safe.
I find it a bit on the weak side. If McCain is to win, he’s got to shake […]

Over twenty years ago, Mac Computers made a big splash with their 1984 Orwell-like Super Bowl Ad.
As one of the most famous ads in history, it was only a matter of time before someone spoofed it in the political world.
This winter, an anti-Hillary supporter must have had a lot of time on their hands. […]
There are few things more annoying than political analysts who don’t know anything yet control the airwaves by giving an opinion and analysis that’s no more educated than that of a low IQ St. Bernard.
The only thing more annoying than this are loud talk radio hosts who don’t know anything.
