This guy doesn't care about the issues at all.....

It's another "made-for-tv-pundits" ad that he'll put no money behind but the television talking heads will loop almost continuously.

I actually question the veracity of that being a real ad. Seems like a tongue-in-cheek ad made for McCain campaign staffers only.

I agree. That's exactly what it is. He's putting no money behind any of them. The said thing about it though is that these ads are working. He's trying to say "Obama's not ready to lead".

My bad - mac was wrong. Whoda thought?
Anyway, this can't be a serious ad.

Personally, I think it's hysterical. Maybe someone should do the counter version of it about McCain as the one, with clips of his oh-so inspiring speeches. I'd love to see that same video done like that.

It's not a real ad, even if Drudge and Breitbart present it as such.
Where's the tagline at the end?
But that doesn't matter. Karl Rove has figured out you can put anything you want on YouTube with complete deniability and impunity.
The ad is so ludicrous that it's actually amusing, even to this liberal, but it does incrementally reinforce McCain's new message.
And yet ...
Isn't it amazing that the Republicans are giving up this early on actually trying to sell McCain himself?

No, it IS a real ad. You can check it out for yourself, right on the FRONT PAGE of McCain's official site:
