Like an old dog with a bone, the McCain campaign just won’t let go. This latest ad once again labels Barack Obama “the biggest celebrity in the world,” but asks is he “ready to help your family?”
Sound Bite: “The real Obama promises higher taxes . . . more government spending. . . so, fewer jobs.”
A swimsuit-clad Paris (I’m just hot”) Hilton gets even with John McCain for dissing her in his recent ad.
Sound Bite: “I’ll see you at the debates, bitches.”

“Washington’s broken,” says this new 30-second spot from John McCain. (Hey, wasn’t that Mitt Romney’s line?) And guess who can fix it? Someone who has spent the last 25 years in Washington, of couse.
Sound Bite: “He’s the original maverick.”
John McCain is taking the “low road” in the campaign while Barack Obama offers “real solutions” for America’s energy problems. And a $1000 check, to boot!
In this new 30-second spot, Barack Obama says John McCain is in “Big Oil’s pocket,” just like President Bush.
Sound Bite: “Now Big Oil’s filling John McCain’s campaign with $2 million in contributions.”
The ad also promotes Hugo Chavez, er, Barack Obama’s plan to tax the “windfall profits” of oil companies and redistribute the revenue to American families via $1000 “rebates.”
No mention here of Obama’s newfound support (sort of) for offshore drilling by those oil companies. (Oops! Good-bye windfall profits. Hello new big rigs.)
John McCain has gone from comparing Barack Obama to Paris Hilton and Britney Spears to mocking him as “The One.” (Hmmm. If the current McCain strategy doesn’t work, what’s Plan B?”)
Sound Bite: “He may be the one. But is he ready to lead?”
A middle-aged, balding white guy (You McCain voters all look alike) says he thought Senator McCain was a “principled guy” but “you let me and my kids down.” Why? Because McCain’s now in favor of off-shore drilling: “That’s not a solution, Mr. McCain. That’s a gimmick.”
John McCain has been smacking Barack Obama upside the head with some regularity (hey, that’s his campaign strategy and he’s sticking to it). Well, Barack’s had enough and he hits back in this new 30-second spot.
Sound Bite: “His attacks on Barack Obama: not true . . . false . . . baloney . . . the low road . . . baseless. John McCain: same old politics . . . same failed policies.”
Sure, Barack Obama’s a media celebrity — just like Britney Spears and Paris Hilton — says this 30-second spot from the McCain campaign. But “is he ready to lead?”
The NY Times today shows how McCain’s ad attacking Obama for canceling a visit with wounded troops is getting more play on news and talk shows than as a commercial. Case in point: Keith Olberman complains:
In this 30-second spot, the McCain campaign chides Barack Obama for not visiting an American military base in Germany during his European grand Tour.
Sound Bite: “He made time to go to the gym but cancelled a visit with wounded troops. Seems the Pentagon wouldn’t allow him to bring cameras.”
Who’s to blame for rising gasoline prices? “Obama . . . Obama . . . Obama . . .” At least that’s what this new ad from John McCain says.
Sound Bite: “Don’t hope for more energy. Vote for it.”
At an Advertising Age conference panel, the moderator asked Arianna Huffington to channel Karl Rove and say how he should advertise against Obama. The full response is here but Ad Age — stupidly — does not make its videos embeddable. So here’s a shortened version without the setup, making it look as if Arianna has changed sides:
In his latest TV spot, John McCain continues to pound Barack Obama on Iraq.
Sound Bite: “He voted against funding our troops, positions that helped him win his nomination. Now Obama is changing to help himself become president.”
