I searched this because it just aired here in Texas. In fact there have been quite a few ads in the morning, favoring both campaigns.

3. Why?
It's a legitimate concern about the health of someone trying to become President(once his campaign resumes)

4. Because it looks like we're degrading a person for having a disease.
I agree it's a ligitimate concern, but I still feel this was a poor way to point it out.

5. I doubt this ad will produce the conversation about
the need for us to know more about his real health, so you are probably right about it not being effective.

10. I don't think the ad should be pulled, but I think that Obama should say that it should be pulled
Does that make sense? I think it would probably be wise for Obama to distance himself from it, because it comes across as mean, but it's actually entirely fair and relevant. And true.

8. Are you kidding me? Keep waiting for McCain to tell people to pull Ayers and Wrights ads
This is a tough business. You can't be playing nice

It's from Brave New Pac, whomever that is. I thought is was local, apparently it went everywhere.

16. Did you notice the DFA logo in the top rt corner of the credit screen?
That's Democracy for America, the org. Howard Dean's brother is running. I have to believe the Brave New Pac must be affiliated with DFA.

6. I don't like this ad.
It's too much like something the right wing would do.
And they should be attacking on the issues

12. Right. Let's keep doing it the way Democrats have always done it.
That's worked for us so well.

This time we can't afford to lose. Unfortunately, we have to play with their rules to win.

I do agree that Obama should distance himself from this ad.

7. If they tied this in with his excellent citizen paid health care and his awful health care plans
it would work on two levels.

13. Do you want another 4-8 years of Bush policies, or do you want to win?
That's your choice. I don't like it either, but I'll take a win any way we can get it.

14. I saw this today in NY.
As long as where dealing with facts related to the issues, I'm fine with it.
