August 4, 2008

News: The gloves have come off. The Obama camp has finally responded to the negative ad by John McCain titled “Pump” that suggests that Barack Obama is responsible for (hard to believe) the rise in gas prices. Obama’s ad is titled in response “Pocket.”

John McCain’s negative ad compares Barack Obama to Moses + Jesus, mockingly called “The One”

August 1, 2008

News: The McCain camp continues its onslaught of negative ads aimed solely at attacking Barack Obama, instead of defining John McCain’s own character. The one above is filled with religious overtones of “The One”–you can insert the word “chosen” or “annointed” in there. The ad below insinuates that Barack Obama forgot about Latin America in his speech in Berlin.

The Obama camp has responded once about the “Low Road” tactics of the McCain camp with the video below.

Brave New Pac also has a response ad to McCain’s negative ads:

Analysis: That’s 8 negative attack ads from the McCain camp against Obama in the last 2 weeks. These negative ads have generated several million views on YouTube and are, by far, John McCain’s most viewed videos thus far. The Obama camp has only 1 video response so far to these attack ads.

UPDATE: Sure enough, the Obama camp has fired enough another response to McCain’s negative ads. The negative ads may be backfiring on McCain. Apparently, they may be helping to increase donations and volunteers to Obama. Here’s David Plouffe, the campaign manager speaking:

McCain ad attempts to associate Barack Obama with Britney Spears + Paris Hilton

July 31, 2008

The ad is titled “Celeb.” It seems like a stretch. I wonder how Britney Spears and Paris Hilton feel about their images being used for a political campaign ad.

The Obama campaign has issued a response video titled “Low road,” referring to McCain’s negative ad.

UPDATE: barelypolitical has come out with a response to McCain that shows John McCain running with Britney Spears.
