3. That photo should be burned into the minds-eye of the US electorate.
When they see McCain, they should automatically think Bu$h. It should be a Pavlovian response. McCain = Bu$h. Vote McCain, get more Bu$h. Bu$hed-out?: Avoid McCain like the plague. Etc, etc.

4. Every ad, every cereal box, every TV spot, every lapel button
and the caption "four MORE years?"

5. Want to bet it is never used?
Our gurus and beltway geniuses seem to not understand how to run an effective campaign. It will be all 'warm and fuzzy issue of the day' themed crap, and then firedrill defense against the endless and seemingly unexpected barrage of turds coming from the other camp. Meanwhile our leaders will continue to cozy up to the rightwing hate media, as if they were totally unaware that they are being stabbed in the back, the front, the sides, and frequently the face by these same ass-munchers.

13. The DNC produced an Internet ad for Valentines Day..
which featured Grandpa Johnny and Shrubya making goo-goo eyes at each other, including that picture. It was great! I think they'll use it a lot.

8. It should be.
In fact they should build and ad around it. They should take every recorded statement of support of Bush and his war that McCain has made and play them with that image and the words scrolling underneath.

9. There are dozens of photos and slogans that could be used. This should be
easy. The effort to unseat a dangerous, rogue political party from power after 7 years of lies, abuse, misinformation, power grabs, profit, corruption SHOULD be a no-brainer.

Should have been easy in 2004. Should have been easy after 2006.

...Were it not a sham (to quote a senior DUr)
