Substantive, factual, and devastating.

Most Americans don't know how much they've gotten screwed over by McCain and pals. Good info.

10. heh, that picture of Rick Davis is so hilarious.

I can't watch the ad at work, but I agree that if you look at any one of McCain's advisors, they have each managed to contribute to the screwing of the American people in their own unique way.

11. It's a fantastic ad, but remember the average IQ is 100, and most people don't know what a lobbiest

is or what one does.

[MSU_Spartans]

12. Yes, but

they don't need to know. All they need to understand is that having powerful lobbyists = not a maverick. His maverick title is about all he has. Destroy that, and he's in serious trouble.

13. “If seven of McCain’s top advisers are lobbyists, who do you think will run his White House?”

I think the ad is very understandable and devastating for McCain.
