Then we have an Obama ad which portrays Senator McCain as 'out of touch' because he cannot type an email.
I see these in the following context: Although they didn't come right out and say it, Obama's audience implied Sarah Palin is swine.
On the issue of the Email, I got the impression the Obama camp thinks McCain is a doddering old man who wouldn't know where to find a computer in a room, much less use one.
...What Team Obama didn't count on was the fact that they've once again stuck their collective feet in their mouths, not realizing McCain sustained multiple wounds from being imprisoned in the Hanoi Hilton for five hellacious years, and that there are many other POWs out there who've encountered far worse and may not enjoy the mobility many of us take for granted.
Another tidbit uncovered (thanks by in large to NRO's Jonah Goldberg) is the current POTUS, George W. Bush is a email fanatic, but for security reasons, does not utilize this mode of communication from the Oval Office.
As for the Palin insult, this has not gone over well with two core constituencies the Obama camp desperately needs to win this election: Caucasian women and men, particularly those who live in Flyover Country.
...So when Obama stated his campaign was going over the line with the negative ads as compared to his rival, he accidentally told the truth.
Regarding the McCain can’t use a computer ad - if the older women at my church are any indication, the senior demo is taking that one personally. Once a month we have a Sat AM gathering and last Saturday over brunch, they were ripped about it, interpreting it as saying an old man can’t use modern technology.
