I agree, in FL that would be a devestating ad for McCain.
They need to run this ad in a continuous loop on Florida television stations.
I'm in Florida and I hope they do keep running it (just like I hope they keep running the ad where they attempt to tie McCain to Limbaugh on immigration). Why? Because it's blatantly false and easy to prove so (as is the McCain/Limbaugh immigation ad).
Sure both ads can have short term positive effects for the Obama campaign. But long term, as both ads are obviously designed to purposely deceive, it will backfire as Obama's whole candidacy is based on being a new kind of politician.
The problem is both ads assume people are stupid. And some are. But many more are not.
Don't believe me? Even left leaning Factcheck.org has this article up on its' web site: "A new Obama ad characterizes the "Bush-McCain privatization plan" as "cutting Social Security Benefits in half." This is a falsehood sure to frighten seniors who rely on their Social Security checks. In truth, McCain does not propose to cut those checks at all. " Full Story Here
Note: I considered voting for Obama until he misrepresented McCain's position on Iraq in regards to staying there for "100 years". At that point Obama became just another politician to me. I suspect I am not alone on this.
Since when do ads need to be truthful? Republicans complaining about lack of truth are such losers.

One big mistake Obama makes is assuming Mexicans,Cubans,Latino's etc are politically stupid. I live in a state with a HUGE Mexican population and believe me they are very informed on all issues that concern them and politically savy. They don't just hang around waiting for the wise one to manipulate them. Lots of them are life long ranchers and buisness owners. They are not stupid little sheeple waiting to be herded to "Rancho Demo". That also includes our states HUGE Native American population. Figures Dems put these minorities in a box labled "naive and easlily led"
Sorry Obots.
