Yes, character matters . . . .
–When you’re cheating on your first wife.
When you are involved in crooked business deals.
When you help your casino owning friends out through influence
peddling.
And when you’re calling a U.S senator a communist and inferring
he might be a terrorist.
Indeed–character matters– and in this case it got the right
man elected.
I don’t think this ad would have been the silver bullet some Republicans seem to have thought it would be.
That’s the wrong view. We want the wingnutzzz to cry “if only, if only…” over and over and over. Good times.
They couldn’t push this meme because Palin was pretty extremist on the religion side with the whole witch hunter guy, and the end of the world warriors. Dangerous territory for McCain and it pretty much took Wright off the table.
Where the hell was this ad before Nov 4? I absolutely would have voted for McCain instead of Obama if only I’d watched it.
And if Palin had only done that turkey-slaughter interview before the election. That would have convinced me to vote for McCain too.
Grrr. Whatever different method you’ve used to embed the video, can’t get it to play in my Firefox.
I’ll never understand something. The only way this ad works is if it is run by some shadowy third party. That’s why the swiftboating crap worked. While the ad above can be directly tied to McPalin. That’s why it would have been destined to fail(just like all their other ads). When McPalin runs crap like this, nobody pays attention because everyone knows one candidate is just trying to say bad things about the other. It happens all the time. Just further proof that the Republicans mailed it in this year.
There IS no “silver bullet.” If you’re looking for a silver bullet, you’ve lost the election. And they ran their whole campaign by looking for one.
To be fair – the ad would only have to have flipped 4.8 million votes to give McCain a victory. Why wasn’t Sean Hannity letting us know all about this Jeremiah Wright fellow?
