I think’s way overdoing it with playing this card
Sounds sorta hokey/whinny to me.
I like it. If McCain has the conservative base covered, it’s all about the women and moderates now. My aunt would have a visceral reaction to that ad.
I just wish they would lay off the narrative — the literal narrative in these ads. Why can’t they take a page from the PUMAs? They have the best ads slamming Obama to fun music. I liked the part in this ad where Obama is standing there with the crowd chanting his name, like at a Hitler rally. That part was really creepy and effective, and it happened. Then they should cut to the “respectable” media slams against Palin, one after another, the media screeching, then show the truth in a scrolling segment, and pictures of Palin with a background of hip music (a lesson from the PUMAs). But the condescending female narrator in the ad is hokey. I don’t sound like that, and neither do the women that are pissed off about the sexism. SHE sounds Washington elitist, old boy politics. Coming from a female, I’m telling you the female narrator is too much.
I've been very impressed with the quick turnaround for McCain ads this year. I just wonder how fast the ads will come out in 2012...
To stick to the original post... I agree with what others have said here. This is a play to moderates and wimmin.
They should have used the word “sexist.” That would help capture the swing-vote dem women.
I love this...personally it’s better than some of the others.
But who am I to judge?.......I was voting McCain/Palin from the start. ;-)))
They need to stay on the economic message of drill, drill, drill!
It doesn’t sing to me, but then I’m not in the target demographic. The McCain/Palin campaign is relentlessly wooing moderate women, and so far it’s paying off in spades.
