GREAT new Kerry TV ad (based on the McCain web ad)

[SeveneightyWhoa]

Just heard that Kerry'll be running a new TV ad, a modified version of that great web-only ad featuring John McCain.

GREAT stuff.

1. Too bad they did not include the fact that Kerry

was one of the five senators defending McCain at the time. Otherwise great ad.

4. they probably will. It indicated they are modifying it for tv

They have to modify it, because they have to have the manditory "I'm John Kerry and I approved this ad" language in there.

5. It is

at the very beginning.

Are you sure you saw the correct ad?

It's the first on, it's one minute long, and it's great.

I hope they have McCain's permission, though. If they do, and McCain even says something neutral about it, Bush will look like shit.

And just before the Repuke Convention.

7. 'just saw it with the Kerry "intro"

I think they decided to keep it as short as possible with focus on the McCain v Bush* bit. Yes, they could have added more to (perhaps) make it even more effective, but at least it is going to get out there and Bush's* look is devastating IMO.

2. Beautiful.

Ties right into the Cleland visit to the coward's ranch today.

Senators wrote to the coward 4 years ago and he ignored them. Same thing to day, just replace McCain with Kerry.

Is dumbya in a corner on this or what??

6. Coward's Ranch

Very good. I like it. Very clever.

Coward's Ranch instead of Crawford.

That's why I love DU, you always get some good material to use.

3. even better than the first one

8. It is awesome. nt

9. I Love it

I believe w's answer to McCain was, "John, it's politics."
That would be great if they could fit it in.
But I really like the soft spoken, direct slam. McCain is good (too bad he's one of them).

10. I love it that John Kerry is hitting back in a way

that shames George and encourages the public to focus on the issues. This is the perfect message, delivered in just the right tone. Love it.

11. I don't get broadband until Friday

Is there a transcript available?

[Chichiri]

14. Anyone? Anyone?

Bueller? Bueller?

[Nicholas_J]

12. Yes

Doing this at the same time that Cleland is presenting Bush with a similar letter from Senators is perfect timing.
