"McCain “wearing giant glasses and an out-of-style suit, interspersed with shots of a disco ball, a clunky phone, an outdated computer and a Rubik’s Cube.”

So I suppose our response ad would be the picture of Barry Obama in a large afro and a quasi-leisure suit? Almost everyone looked stupid in the 70’s and 80’s."

Can you imagine the cries of racism and bigotry that would be leveled at McCain were he to run an ad showing Obambi in an afro and a leisure suit?!!?

The interesting thing about BO’s ad is that it is a look into what he thinks is important and what he thinks his base is important.

I’ve always viewed him as, essentially, a pop phenomenon—a 20th century tulip bubble if you would. That’s why the Brittany Spears ad hurt so much. There was a core element of truth.

Obama apparently thinks that being “with it” is an important qualification for president. Maybe the ad helps with the youth vote. I can’t imagine it helping with us old farts, many of whom looked as silly as McCain in that era and many of whom don’t use email.
