McCain just executed a flanking maneuver with this ad. It's a VERY risky move because he's trusting that the Palin pick has shored up the GOP base enough to allow him to strike out at a critical Obama constituency (I think Obama now HAS to respond, defensively, to this move) without risk that his center is going to fold up as a result.

I agree, Plus he and Obama basically have the same stance on the immigration issue. So he could pull some Hispanic votes in states like NM and CO, which could put him over 270 EVs, while staying on offense against Obama. However he better not take the Palin nomination for granted with the base though. McCain has a penchant for sticking his thumb in the base's eye, when he's being all moderate and sh*t. So he better not overplay it against us. He would be wise not to remind us why we didn't want him in the 1st place. That said I have to admire his shrewdness and cajonnes on this one

Critical constituency. Interesting.
