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."

McFlip-Flop''s ad is a tad off. The democrats are still in a nomination contest. McSame makes all of these promises without saying how to pay for them. Why? Because he can pretend like he doesn''t have to raise taxes then. McFlip wants to continue spending billions and soon trillionsof dollars on that mistake of a war in Iraq.
An obvious question for McCain has come to mind: if things DON''T improve by 2013, how much longer would he be willing to stay beyond that before he left? Or does he stick by his position that he''ll stay as long as it takes, even if it takes 100 years? So we can begin the 100 year occupation?
I say let her out in the rain. She and Bill probably made too many promises to Kazakstan, China, and Taiwan, that they have to get in the White House one way or another. Let them out in the rain, hang them out to dry.
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.
Heaven help us if Barack Obama wins the nomination because McCain will win.
There is this nagging question to which I have still not been able to find a satisfactory answer: Why are the superdelegates being allowed to declare their votes prior to the time that they actually are authorized to vote?
Has this happened before in previous primaries? I don%u2019t remember it being this blatant, if it did. Apparently not, according to CNN.com.
The reason I ask is, isn%u2019t this %u201Cvoter abuse%u201D in the sense that since the superdelegates are the %u201CElectoral College%u201D of the DNC, should they be allowed to influence the primary process long before it is over?
Shouldn''t Howard Dean be saying %u201CWe want the people to be able to vote uninfluenced by the superdelegates, so any superdelegate who declares their vote prior to the time they are authorized to vote, will be penalized by being removed as a superdelegate and a substitute superdelegate will be appointed.%u201D
I am more than a little amazed that we accept this manipulation by the superdelegates as if it is standard operating procedure. Is it? If it is, it is time to change it for the sake of the voters.
Twenty years with Reverend Wright?
Sorry.
Mrs. Tony Rezko land deal where the Obamas got way more than they paid for when they bought their ritzy home.
Sorry. It was a ''boneheaded'' thing to do.
Said he''d meet with every head of state, which includes the terrorist ones without preconditions? Now he''s flip flopping and says there would be preconditions.....
Oh great, PLEASE NOT another flip flopper on the Democratic ticket.
Calls an adult professional woman Sweetie? That insults women everywhere. I''m NOT his sweetie.
Sorry!
Sorry!
Sorry!!
Sorry!
Super delegates and primary voters: Vote for Clinton so we can fix this Democratic train wreck before we are SORRY IN NOVEMBER!
I am so glad that Senator Clinton has remained in the race. On May 16 I saw Barack Obama blunder big time, when he said that he was ''surprised'' by President Bush''s remarks. For heaven''s sake. The GOP has a target on Obama''s chest and he has given them all kinds of ammunition to use against him, and he is SURPRISED????? Look how easily they got him to go negative!
Heaven help us if Barack Obama wins the nomination because McCain will win.
and they''re doing a pretty good job of it.

55% of the Whites vote for Clinton and thats racist.
Michelle and Obama whine when the going gets rough.
They constantly remind us about how Obama is going to save the world and how only Obama can do that.
The White media is constantly kissing his Black Azz.
Even the Democratic Leadership gives them every break you can think of.
My disqust is turning to nauseousness.
How much more of this can a reasonable person take???

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

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!!
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.
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.

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.
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!!!!
