Not Shilling, Just Appreciating
Conservative Belle — ... Senator McCain demonstrates class. I have to say that whoever is in charge of the video ads for McCain's campaign now is doing a phenomenal job. Impressive, even if they never change my a single vote. Curtsy to: HotAir ...

Little Miss Attila — Slick. Via AllahP, who points out that if Obama attacks McCain tonight, he may well look "ungracious." If he's smart, he'd editing his speech a bit, as we speak.

Arguing for this: Well, it's thin, but Megyn Kelly pressed Cameron on whether or not the name would leak "within the hour," which seems oddly specific as to time-setting. Oh -- and what the hell is this nonsense? Obama campaign manager David Plouffe — who did not know the content of the ad until we read him the ...

Obama, McCain, Palin & generosity
The Anchoress — ... . In watching the coverage of John McCain’s choice of Gov. Sarah Palin as his running mate, I thought about generosity and the lack thereof and how they play out, and what sort of payback they bring you in the universe. What I mean is, yesterday, on the fourth day of the Democrat National Convention, John McCain made an ad congratulating Obama - and the Obama campaign appreciated it and wished he would do more ads like those. McCain didn’t have to do that, but he did, and it was a fairly classy thing to do. No, not classy, it generous . It showed a generosity of spirit. ...
