He put out a new ad today hitting the same simple-minded points he's been hitting lately. Obama's a rich celebrity . . . blah . . . blah . . . blah. I'm not linking to the video, but here is the script:
Is this really the fight that McCain wants to have? Celebrities don't have to worry about budgets? I guess it's all he's got and he's been banking on this line of attack since the first "celebrity" ad, but it seems to me that the ground has shifted a bit since the house-counting controversy.
You have things like this appearing in the papers:
And then you have stories about McCain spending more money on "the help" than 93% of Americans make in a year. And you also have the McCain's reporting $500,000 in credit card debt notwithstanding their vast wealth. And Cindy saying that their beach-front condo was too crowded with the kids visiting so they just up and bought another one.
While it may have had traction before, it seems these attack ads are going to have diminishing returns from this point out. I suppose that's why they're going to the Rezko/Wright stuff.
