John McCain's Sappy Side - New Ad "Love" - McCain The Love Guru!

[Median Democrat]

Hey, don't you feel the "Love"? Who knew that John McCain was just a wittle teddy bear with his new ad "Love."

The McCain campaign today unveiled a new 1-minute television ad, "Love." The spot casts presumptive GOP nominee John McCain as a man who served his country abroad while many of his peers were enmeshed in the upheaval of the 1960s at home.

It also paints McCain as a "maverick" not beholden to his party and takes a veiled shot at rival Barack Obama for his rhetoric about "hope."

The spot opens with shots of hippies enjoying what a deep-voiced announcer casts as the Summer Of Love.

"It was a time of uncertainty, hope and change," the announcer intones, as shots of young people – including a young couple kissing – grace the screen.

2. Wow. Trying to recreate anti-hippy reactionism that brought about the Reagan "revolution"

Not gunna happen.

4. What is this supposed to have to do with us now?

McCain appears to be living in another era
and is out of touch.

3. I can't watch videos on my computer, but I saw a brief clip of the "hippie" shots in the

ad earlier on tv. I was like "Is this for real? No, seriously?" Sadly, I find myself saying that after every McCain ad. Though I do think it's hysterical, I love the part when the voiceover pauses, and then says "hope", like it's a dirty word!
Geeze, is this all they have got in their bag of tricks?
