McCain ad paints Dems as wolfpack hunting Palin

(CNN) — John McCain's campaign released a new ad Wednesday that portrays Democratic operatives as a vicious wolfpack hunting VP nominee Sarah Palin.

“The attacks on Governor Palin have been called ‘completely false’…’misleading,’” says the female announcer in the 30-second spot, which points to a report from Factcheck.org shooting down many attacks on the Alaska governor. “And they've just begun.”

The announcer cites a Wall Street Journal column that 30 Democratic lawyers and researchers have been “air dropped” Alaska to conduct “dig dirt” on Palin.

That column, by pundit John Fund, cites anonymous sources in reporting that unnamed Democrats have descended on the Alaskan capital of Anchorage. The Democratic National Committee and the Obama campaign have denied sending anyone to Alaska to conduct research into Palin’s past.

“As Obama drops in the polls, he'll try to destroy her,” says the announcer, as images of a wolfpack appear on screen. "Obama's politics of hope? Empty words."

The McCain campaign said the ad would be airing in “key states,” although it did not say where, or how extensive the buy would be.

One of his best ads yet. Maybe THE best.

The Democratic National Committee and the Obama campaign have denied sending anyone to Alaska to conduct research into Palin’s past.

Is there a single person on the planet that believes that? Why even say it, all it does is make everyone think you are a liar.

Another ad gets nationwide airplay thanks to the nets!

Oh how it must drive them nuts!

Looks like only Liberals respond to the blog.

Just fact checking

Pretty good ad. I would prefer the media included as the pack. ;-)

Oh, man. Genius.

Well - it probably SHOULD be Anchorage ;)

Now they all of a sudden want to talk about issues...while they send their wolves the swiftstick Sarah.

Should have thought about that before they planned the attacks.

Dear Mr. Obama:

I was going to vote for you. However, seeing as you are not looking for information on your opponent - I find that foolish and irresponsible - I will not be voting for you based on your lack of judgement. I shudder to think of the approach you would take with our foreign opponents.

Regards-

One more time...

Are they any Alaska FReepers out there? Would it be possible to start tying up the appropriate offices with various Freedom of Information requests of records to keep the state employees too busy to reply to the Dem's requests? Maybe start something simple like a list of every state license plate that has a G in the plate number. Or claim you're doing some research on paper usage and you need to track every toilet paper purchase by every state agency. They'll finally be able to get to the requests about Governor Palin in January.

Where’s the ad?

[Antoninus]

Wow, another *ouch* ad.

Got to admire the tenacity that Team McCain is showing on this. There are so many new ads out there, Team BO doesn't know which to defend against first.

And there are still 55 days to go!
