McCain ad paints Dems as wolfpack hunting Palin
CNN ^ | September 10, 2008 | CNN Staff

(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.

Wouldn’t it be funny if Palin buttered up Biden during the debate by repeatedly complimenting him and wondering why he isn’t at the top of the ticket.

Ah, I see what you’re saying. The old rope-a-dope. Hammer him with Palin stuff and then turn right around at the last minute and say “why are we focusing on Palin??”

Aw man LOL...that’s pretty devious.

I like that ad. Especially when the wolves come out of the woods when the narrator says “lawyers.”

If Rove did in 2004 what the McCain campaign is doing in 2008 Lurch would have lost by a much larger margin than he did, and many of us wouldn’t have been so tortured by temerity.

Seriously! I’ve never seen a Republican campaign hammering like this.

Way back right after Obama defeated Hillary, I remember the McCain campaign coming out swinging on some issue or another.

At the time I remarked that McCain's handlers were a bunch of badasses.

They sure have proven that!

THEN maybe, just maybe, there'd be just one less measure of distrust of the MSM treating itself in such unbelievably elitist beltway manners!

40 years of business experience has taught me that the larger the city a person calls home is, the more provincial he is.

I sure am glad. I think I can get some rest on this now with these guys on it. I thought I was going to have to hit my TV screen when FOX started to wobble this morning.

You're a genius. Any way you can team up with somebody to make this happen? (Maybe it could be done cheaply with still shots, montages, photoshopped pictures and a really good voice-over narrator, reading basically what you said...)

Do it!

Who knew that the “fighter” that we’ve wanted for years would be a RINO?

He certainly is exposing leftists for what they are, and of course, defeating them in the process.

To defeat the left,
expose the left.

(my secondary tagline)

Bush wasn’t out to defeat the left.

He was just out to get re-elected.

a “$500 suit” is an insult to a Dim apparatchik.

This is THE BEST AD YET, BY FAR, and the McCain campaign needs to know it, hear it, and BUY AD TIME IN EVERY KEY STATE FOR THIS AD - PLAY IT ENDLESSLY!

This is McCain's "There's A Bear In The Woods Ad" if he's smart. Please be smart, McCain people. Buy lots of ad time for this one. Play this one in prime time on every major network: ABC, CBS, NBC, CNN, FOX News, Lifetime, TBS! Especially where women will see it!

Guy from Politico.com is on Shepard Smith on FOX. He quotes the South Carolina Dem chairman as saying that Governor Palin’s only qualification for Vice President is that she didn’t have an abortion. National Obama spokesperson about to come on to ‘splain it.

And especially hilarious given Palin’s documented support for aerial wolf culling. Mangy Dems don’t stand a chance.

Excellent point. :)

It does seem that Palin’s bio is perfect. I chalk this up to God’s foreknowledge of needing this person at this time and in this place.

As Rush put it, the left isn’t trying to beat Palin, they’re trying to beat God.

I’d like to see an ad that shows pigs with wings when it talks about Obama’s plans. Of course, those pigs would be wearing lipstick.
