"… if I were seriously to consider running on a national ticket, I would essentially have to start now, before having served a day in the Senate. Now there may be some people who are comfortable doing that, but I am not one of those people." A devastating McCain ad, I think. And I will remind you that I have taken a vow of cruel neutrality. I want to post devastating Obama ads too. Please point me to some! ...

The Ad That Could Give John McCain the White House
The Sundries Shack —
This is going to hurt Barack Obama a lot.
If the McCain campaign can cut this ad down to 30 seconds (perhaps by giving Chris Dodd and Hillary Clinton only one quote apiece) and run it nationwide for three weeks in September, he will win in November.
I think this as is so powerful that it wouldn’t matter who he picks as his running mate tomorrow, which should concern conservatives greatly. That one-minute advertisement could very well make them completely irrelevant to him.
Obama statement from 2004 campaign now in YouTube ad.--
The Volokh Conspiracy —
Althouse points to a pro-McCain YouTube ad up on Hot Air that she calls " devastating ." It ends with a clip from Barack Obama’s 2004 campaign for the Senate: You know, I am a believer in knowing what you’re doing when you apply for a job. And I think that if I were to seriously consider running on a national ticket, I would essentially have to start now, before having served a day in the Senate.

Putin’s ad
Belmont Club —
With Iraq fast vanishing from the headlines, Georgia has become a political issue. It’s outbreak has implicity helped John McCain because it highlighted Barack Obama’s lack of foreign policy experience, as shown for example, by this ad . Putin, perhaps realizing this, is now trying to blame the Republicans. One of the great traditions established by Vietnam is that foreign dictators get to take sides in US electoral politics. ...
ALL THE MAJOR DEMOCRAT CANDIDATES AGREED: OBAMA IS NOT QUALIFIED TO BE COMMANDER IN CHIEF - and they didn't say this about ANYONE else!
THE ASTUTE BLOGGERS —
McCain's latest ads: (More here.) Democrat Obama supporters argue that these negative comments -plainly made by Hillary & Bill, Biden and Dodd were merely primary attacks, and indeed these people have retracted them since obama clinched. BUT THIS IS PURE BULLSHIT. AND I CAN PROVE IT: Not one of these contenders (and former president) ever said one single ...
