Not sure if anyone noticed...
or if it's been brought up before, it might just be a throw away observation, and not sure if it's supposed to go here or in the campaign forum, but...

In Bush's attack ad on Kerry, anyone notice the religious symbolism? Not in what was said. But when they had the graphics cutting in from the the sides, it was in 3 sections. The pictures had people, and talking about the $900 billion tax increases, etc, etc.

They had the trinity thing going. I doubt it's some revelation(that's right, pun intended), but I just noticed it tonight. I was watching, and it just hit me. Look at that, bang, bang, bang. Every time, it was 3 bars of graphics. I don't know, I found it interesting. Hidden message type of stuff.

1. Isn't that a common editing technique these days?
"Triptych" split screens go back as far as Abel Gance's "Napoleon" in the 20s. The split-screen style was a fad in the 1960s for feature films. It's common practice in television series' title sequences and other tv material. You may be reading too much in.

3. Father (Cheney), Son (W) and Holy Ghost (Rove)?
I am thinking that they didn't try to do a Trinity thing as they have trouble with gimmicks let alone straight out messages.
