McCain and The NRA Take On Obama

Kudos to John McCain for being the first to release a contrast ad in this General election cycle. McCain's ad takes shots at Obama's lack of foriegn policy experience and his flip-flops on key issues like the war in Iraq. I think the timing of this ad is perfect, perhaps it will leach some of the press spotlight that Obama has had due to his middle east pandering expedition.



Speaking of taking shots, The National Rifle Association, announced that it will spend $40 million during this election season, $15 million specifically to persuade gun owners to vote against Barack Obama.The Illinios Senator really ticked of the NRA when he made that comment earlier in the year stating that the people in western Pennsylvania were bitterly clinging to guns and their religion. Anyone want to bet that we will see a quick move to center by Barack Obama on the issues surrounding the second ammendment? Don't be suprised if you see photos of Obama in the near future, wearing his new favorite color, blaze orange...

Maybe he'll try to buy a hunting license too. It worked for Kerry ;-)

Outstanding CWS - it is about time that McCain began advertising - and contrasting - no need to go negative - Obama's two sides can be contrasted from now until November - see Springfield ILL press from his early days - to this week, when he contradicts himself in Europe - the best thing that could happen would be a teleprompter mishap -

just thinking

Obama and a hunting license, now that's rich!
