New McCain Ad is a Mistake

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oHXYsw_ZDXg&eurl

The new ad produced by John McCain's campaign is supposed to portray Obama as a hollywood celebrity, not a Commander and Chief. It shows images of Britney Spears and Paris Hilton.

Unfortunately, it was poorly constructed. The images of fans in Europe chanting Obama's name are only going to help his image. When people see others chanting, they often learn to like that person as well.

It shows that Obama is popular in Europe, which to many people means increasing the "world standing" of the United States.

This ad is going to backfire.

This is very disappointing too because for the most part, I have liked John McCain's ads, especially "Man in the Arena."
