I have to agree with Morris on the softball ads.

While they may be humorous and cutsie, they lack substance. And the ones laughting at them probably wouldn’t vote for Obama anyway.

McCain needs to be giving un-decideds a reason to vote for him. Cutsie ads won’t get do it. Heck, he needs to be giving the conservatives in his own party a reason to vote for him.

Attacking Obama’s celebrity makes the McCain camp seem rather petty, and that probably is not going to win McCain many votes nor lose Obama many votes from un-decideds.

I think McCain is doing just fine. He's spending the first part of the campaign defining Obama. I think it's working just fine.

Actually, my parents were visitng last night. My mom was tossed up between McCain and Obambi.

I showed her the two ads McCain has up right now on his site. I then showed her a clip of Obambi talking about inflating tires. She asked me for the McCain site so they could make a donation. She’d made up her mind by the end of the evening.

This morning, my oldest son (8 years old and smart as a whip) says “Dad, who was the stupid guy talking about inflating his tires to get out of gas costs?” I said “You were listening to us last night, weren’t you?” He said “Yes. Who was it?” I told him it was Barack Obama and showed him the YouTube clip of it and he said “He should be called Barack ODumDum.”
