McCain Ad: I'm Not That Old -- Meet My Mom!- Its his ad really

[Ichingcarpenter]

John McCain has an interesting new ad aimed at women, featuring his mother reminiscing with him about his birth:
The spot is running on select cable channels, many with largely female audiences: ABC Family, A&E, Hallmark Channel, Lifetime, Oxygen and TLC.

The ad seems to be aiming for two birds with one stone: Reaching out to women voters, and also assuring people that John McCain couldn't possibly be too old if his mother is able to shoot an ad with him.

1. Where's his dad?

His grandfather died in his 60s, and his father died at 71.

2. His age isn't the problem. It is his political views that are the

problem.

3. Hey, I never noticed the photo shoppe before!

Hee hee, giggle. Mostly because that photo sickens me so much I never really looked at it. Thanks for the visual. Yuckkkk.

5. I didn't know that about his male gene also

5 years as prisoner of war plus torture, wounds and injury put
a lot of stress on the body and mind. Post Traumatic Stress Syndrome
lives with you the rest of your life and all of those factor into his
life span.

4. About as effective as Bob Dole's Viagra commercial as a political statement.

He'll make a point in one direction, and make a buffoon of himself in the other. Foolish ad. Dressing him better and applying some nice makeup would have been smarter.
