I think an ad with real Americans who have lost their jobs, their homes, can't pay their bills and are really suffering should be seated in front of a camera saying how they believe that Obama can turn this country around and how dare McCain make light of their suffering by putting up a bunch of stupid juvenile ads in times like these. There should even be a few cuts to the ads themselves. And then a voice over saying something like "Who is the real leader, a man who understands the problems that face our nation or a man who behaves like he is in the fifth grade..." Or something like that.
Obama should belittle everything McCain has done this week as an insult to the American people.
We are all becoming advertising experts.

| 1. I totally agree. Obama has to hit McCain on his ads and make this about the economy |
|
But his camp may believe that its too early to do that just yet.

| 2. The main problem is that you don't want to be seen exploiting such people. |
|
And that is surely what McCain would charge.
Not saying it's not a good idea for an ad, just that it leaves a bit of an opening for McCain.

| 7. Hmm. I don't think it would come across that way. |

On its face, seems like just what the Obama campaign needs. Of course, they should only use people who actually CONSENTED to being in an ad, unlike SOME people we know. :)
