McCain's First General Election Ad (Video)
Topics: Political News and commentariesJohn McCain's new ad, titled: "624787" - his Navy serial number, has an appealing message: "The American president Americans have been waiting for."
Hot Air offers a spot-on analysis:
Obama has two basic strengths they need to neutralize, one the greeting-card appeal of Hope 'n Change and the other his irresistible racial narrative. Enter the counter narrative, geared towards gravitas and an appeal to "harder" values in contrast with the Messiah's inexperience and appeal to "softer" ones.Of interest is that this 60-second commercial, which is to play in the battleground state of New Mexico before being aired more widely, is narrated by the actor Powers Boothe, who has also appeared in popular tv series like "24″ and "Deadwood," and once played a downed fighter pilot in an action movie.
