This ad is so misleading and dirty, Obama has a huge opportunity. I think his campaign is up to challenge to turn this into a huge positive. The press will give Obama free air time to respond.
Obama 47
McCain 46
that's the kind of stuff that grabs attention.
Speaking of divorce, Anyone know which state has the lowest rate of divorce in the US? Hint: Washington, DC has the lowest rate, but isn't a state. It's also so overwhelmingly Democratic the GOP mandated in Home Rule that one seat on the city council must be reserved for a non-Democrat. So which state do you think has the lowest rate? (Last hint, it's not in the GOP south...)
This reminds me... is Christ still engaged now that he's not the GOP Veep pick?
Ben Smiyh at the Politico quotes Obama using sharp word:
Obama poked fun of McCain and Palin's new "change" mantra.
http://www.politico.com/blogs/bensmith/0908/Oba...
"You can put lipstick on a pig," he said as the crowd cheered. "It's still a pig."
"You can wrap an old fish in a piece of paper called change. It's still gonna stink."
Strong images and almost slang. IMO needs a transition beforing slipping into this, but rolling in the mud has to be done if one wants to defeat a pig. Wait and see if it is effective.
Anyway, this seems like easy pickings for a really nasty rebuttal ad. Maybe something along the lines of "McCain supports child rapists by opposing abuse education."

You really might want to take a look at this.
Who would have thought it: the Republican Party has become the party that promotes premarital teenage pregnancy and facilitates the sexual exploitation of minors. Oh, and divorce, which Jesus didn't much like.
The "family values" of the McCain and Palin families. Actually, there is a certain mavericky quality here.
Why didn't matthews end this by interjecting with the facts, and let the chips fall where they may? I want to KNOW what each candidates plan is and NOT what the party minions say.
GIVE THE PEOPLE THE TRUTH.
Be wary of these types of things and do not take it lightly.
Considering the rape stats for Alaska, I'd say that they live by a very "loose" version of the old favorite "If they're old enough to bleed, they're old enough to butcher."
And as for the McCain camp, seems like they are practicing a bit of child predation themselves with how they are using Bristol and the other Palin kids... I have no doubt that by the time this is over none of the Palin kids will be reasonably well adjusted.
So, Obama is doing what he needs to.
also, the lying by Palin is starting to come out.
Hopefully amid all this the fact that McCain is wallowing in mud by using this as a way to smear Obama when he is thinking about protecting young children will get out and get out correctly.
these polls are from older folks reaped from land lines, tax records, or long unchanged addresses/phones.

"eff you and the three legged Republican trick pony you rode in on?
"(students must) understand the physical and behavioral characteristics of human sexual development and maturity;"
And further, in the Early Learning Standards for children aged birth through five years, that children should be taught about "safe and unsafe" touching as well as about sexual predators.
Learning Standards have been adopted by every state, under the direction of the education commissioners or secretaries, to direct publicly funded schools at the local level. Alaska's are typical of those found in other states, and the kind of sex education for young children that most professional educators find appropriate.
Anyone out there able to give us the inside dope on how the education commissioner, the governor's delegate for this kind of work, is supporting sex education in the state (for example, a staff person assigned to help local schools, grants for family life education, support for student civil rights teams, etc)?
it can prevent a world of problems, like your 16-year-old daughter getting pregnant, for one.
McCain is still counting on the media to give him a Free Ride with his lies, because really the media for has been his greatest fans for the entirety of his career.
"John McCain newest ad is disgusting and a lie."
End of comment. It's like politics 101.
I am having nightmares thinking of Palin in charge of the 'red button'. It scares the shit out of me.
WAKE UP AMERICA.
On one level, as a fellow Viet Nam veteran and fellow member of the Department of the Navy - the Marines - John McCain's moral meltdown has been a painful thing for me to watch.
I'm a 58 year-old combat veteran of the Viet Nam war and am proud of the two Purple Hearts awarded to me for combat wounds. (despite the way the Republicans' unforgiveably and disgracefully denigrated, very openly, the medal during one of their goofy GOP national conventions.)
If I learned nothing else during the two years I was privileged to call myself a Marine, I learned about 'honor'. I'm not claiming to be the embodiment of the word myself, but I still know what the fucking thing looks like.
Mr McCain.....whether you lose this race or not, the tragic reality for you is that you have allowed your campaign, in its 'hair-on-fire' desperation to 'win', to manipulate you to a point where you have already lost your honor. It's gone.
Think about that.....
And you lost your honor, Senator McCain, because somewhere along the way, you lost your moral courage.
And you couldn't trade me every house you own to be in your Ferragamos when that ugly realization finally hits you, sir,
And then there's the Drill baby Drill with all of the Republican sex/scandals you have to wonder if they're even talking about oil. Or insinuating to men, isn't my VP choice something you would love to drill, as Palin seems to be in pageantry/puppetry mode constantly.
You have to wonder if the GOP are using the sex subliminals.
TPM Reader JM not happy with McCain's sleazy campaign ...
TPM Reader WS has some more to add ...
Couldn't agree more. But let's not be surprised. McCain is pure sleaze. Sound harsh? Sure. But any other interpretation of the man at this point amounts to willful obliviousness or an embrace of the fantasy that he somehow doesn't know what his campaign is doing in his name. This is the race he's decided to run. Now what do you do about it?
