For the Worriers: Obama's Hard-Hitting Ad on McCain's 'Sleaze' and 'Dishonerable Campaign'

Greg et. all seem to jump on every negative ad put out by McCain, but are sometimes behind the ball on Obama's ads. This should be manna to those handwringers who are worried if Obama is really putting his tough press statements into ads and trying to really pry-open the "John McCain-sleazemeister" meme. I think this ad is tough and effective. Enjoy:

I think that these tougher ads should always be paired in a program with an "Obama to the Camera" ad, to balance the negativity with the issues and thus keep his image. Plus, these attacks are <i>fair</i>.
