I remember the Kerry ads. They were very good and very optimistic and positive, but that shouldn't have meant that the campaign wouldn't be airing some hard hitting ads over the war and the Bush relationship with the SAUDis.
Otherwise, why the hell did it take so long for the 527s to come out attacking the family's relationship with the Saudi Royals?
IMO, the economy was always secondary. This election IS completely about national security. People would rather have a shitty job or no job than be dead. Remember when dems tried running from the issue in '02? The strategy was so inept that they did one of two things - avoided the issue altogether and make it about prescription drugs, or completely agree with the president's agenda.
This election was always about the war. This is Bush's pet project. It IS what defines him more than anything. Every terrible quality in the man - his arrogance, ineptitude, and outright stubborness and not listen to others - is displayed by the run up to this war.
While I've found the Move On ads pretty good overall, I have only seen or two ads that have gone after the Bush/Saudi relations, the disaster in Iraq - AND Afghanistan for that matter.
This shouldn't have been conceded for a second.
