New Ads From McCain, Clinton

John McCain has a new ad running in Iowa, "Leads," which opens with a shot of the two Democratic presidential rivals side by side.

"While Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama argue and fight with each other, John McCain leads," an announcer says as the spot opens.

The ad then continues as a positive McCain spot, spotlighting, among other things, his plan for a gas tax holiday. "John McCain: Leadership, not politics," the announcer says as the spot closes. The McCain campaign didn't officially release the spot, which we've embedded via Politico:



Hillary Clinton's campaign also released three new spots today. You can see the two Kentucky spots, "Partner" and "Right Track," here and here. The ad in Oregon, "What's Right," is below. It opens with a shot of pundits discussing the – ahem – horserace nature of political coverage.

"In Washington, they talk about who's up and who's down," an announcer says as the spot opens with shots of TV pundits. "In Oregon, we care about what's right and what's wrong."

I''''t would be UN-Demoratic to not count the votes in Michigan and Florida.

It would be UN-Democratic to not seat their Delegates.

It would be UN-Democratic to not give Hillary Clinton the Delegates proportionate to the votes that she won.

It would be an insult to our intelligence to suggest a 50/50 split or anything less than the delegates Hillary Clinton was given by the vote of the people.

We are well aware that Barack Obama went out of his way to remove his name from the Michigan ballet in an attempt to nullify our votes.

We are well aware that Obama contacted his campaign workers in Michigan and had them urge voters to mark the "none of the above" box on the ballet. He asked them to hold rallys and make radio announcements in an attempt to steal votes from Hillary Clinton.

We are aware that thousands of Hillary Clinton supporters did not even vote in response to being told their vote would not count.

We are well aware that it was Obama himself who denied Michigan and Florida the chance to have a re-vote.

Don''''t make us the Democratic Party that decided the American Flag would go back to having only 48 stars.

IT''S ALL ABOUT *MONEY* !!!

Money is pushing Hillary out of this election...

for just ONE reason,

and one reason ONLY.

HILLARY IS GOING TO TAKE THE MONEY THAT THE FILTHY

RICH HAVE BEEN STEALING FROM THE POOR FOR DECADES AND

MAKE THEM PAY THEIR FAIR SHARE!!!

THE RICH DON''''T PAY TAXES, THEY HIRE LAWYERS TO KEEP

THEM FROM PAYING TAXES.

***HILLARY IS GOING TO MAKE THE RICH PAY THEIR FAIR SHARE!!!!!

The filthy rich, the really, really rich will do,

anything, ANYTHING, to keep Hillary out of the White

House. AND THAT IS EXACTLY WHAT THEY ARE DOING!!!!

It is ironic that the republicans say they would rather debate against Obama, yet they are doing everything they can to get Hillary the nomination. How unusal. I don''t think that Obama mailed out flyers with him looking like a preacher instead of a politician. That sounds like something his opponents would do. Americans or either very naive or very evil...maybe a bit of both. And why I say are the republicans so fearfuol of Barack Obama. Racism is alive and well in America...ALWAYS!!!

BO has a long tongue which is long enough to hang himself and that is why he is afraid of questioning and he ducks debates.

He has lots to hide and he doesn''t want people to get close. He prefers show biz, large rally, monologues, smearing one-sided, and he is such a phony on poetic promises of change. He has made no changes but his bank account.

NOT TAKEN SERIOUSLY BY THE DNC

Action speaks louder than words. I was on another

web site last night and the Hillary supporters were

talking about REGISTERING AS REPUBLICANS AND NOT

COMING BACK TO THE PARTY UNTIL HILLARY GETS THE

NOMINATION.

This way it would be harder for the DNC to just

brush us off by saying we''ll eventually all rally

around Obama......No Way, Nobama!

I''m going tomorrow and register as a Republican. If

you''re not already registered as a Democrat, you can

first register as a Democrat and a day or two later,

register as a Republican. It will show up as a lost

member on the Democratic Membership Roll by the

end of the week.

Sounds like a plan to me!!

I saw the flyer Senator Obama mailed to KY residents on McLaughlin this morning. It is appalling!

Senator Obama is standing at the pulpit with a huge cross behind, portraying him as a preacher rather than a Presidential candidate. I am outraged that Senator Obama would use such tactics.

Mike Huckabee was crucified by the press for a cross that appeared on a bookshelf behind him in one of his speeches during his campaign.

It is no surprise that the media, with the exception of ABC, seems to be ignoring the Obama KY flyer.

"While Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama argue and fight with each other, John McCain leads."

LEADING?? Leading the way this very week in purging his campaign organization of LOBBYISTS! Leading the way in retracting statements of diplomacy spoken about in previous years to now calling diplomacy ''appeasement with dictators''. Leading the way years ago in public campaign financing laws to now running from the law over his campaign financing.

I can prove that the Republicans are making fools out of the Blacks.

The stuff that Obama admitted to in the two books he

wrote is enough to lose him the election. But has

anyone heard anything about either of these writings

by a major National Television Station????

NO! Because they are setting on it until Hillary is

out of the picture and Obama will lose the Presidency

by the largest margine yet. And anyone who can''''''''t

see that and continues to believe otherwise after

reading those two books are being FOOLISH!!!!

Why lil'' missy and grandpa would waste more money on more Ads is indicative of two candidates who are pipe dreaming about over-coming the Obama Shuffle. lil'' missy and grandpa should just come to their senses and get out while they are still standing, because the Obama Shuffle will steamroll them otherwise.

Powder-puff Hillary + Grandpa McCain = soft, weak and lame opponents.
