I know I’m blogger #425653 to mention this, but someone might want to tell John McCain that he might be better off changing his tone a bit during the Olympics. Has anyone on his campaign staff actually, you know, watched the kind of commercials and noticed that they’re all kind of heartwarming and inspiring? Take, for example, Budweiser, which is rolling back out its heartwarming Clydesdale commercial from the Super Bowl. Or Coca-Cola, which has a billion and one different positive ads. Or Visa, which has those awesome Go World ones. What I’m trying to say is that people look for a certain type of commercial during these times, and John McCain’s negative ads are likely to leave a sour taste in most people’s mouths rather than convince them otherwise about Barack Obama. The Obama team seems to get it insofar that their ad is very positive and hits on his themes and gives a positive message. Sometimes this can be a real deal breaker if people really do get tired of the negative McCain ads before this thing is all over.
Alls I know is that the next time I see that stupid McCain ad while I’m trying to watch NBC’s ADHD Olympics broadcasts, I might be liable to hurl.
