[EXTERIOR medium shot: Barack Obama plays with a Golden Retriever. The dog runs around him and fetches a red rubber ball for him.]

[EXTERIOR close shot: Barack smiles broadly kneels and the dog jumps up, placing its paws on both of his shoulders.]

[EXTERIOR close up: The dog licks Barack's face and Barack winces. His smile tightens, but does not fade.]

VOICE OVER (announcer): Barack Obama, pallin' around with a dog who probably peed on your eucalyptus bush.

[EXTERIOR long shot: John McCain, standing on a Victorian filligreed porch, lit golden by a setting sun.]

JOHN McCAIN: Keep your dang dog off my lawn!

[EXTERIOR medium shots: the same porch. A screen store swings open and Cindy McCain steps through with a plate loaded with cookies and a glass of milk. The camera follows her as she offers the cookies and milk to John.]

CINDY McCAIN: Calm down, dear. Your heart.

VOICE OVER (John McCain): I'm John McCain and I approved this message.

[EXTERIOR montage: Barack Obama plays with his daughters on a public playground on a cool Fall day. One girl runs around laughing. Another, also laughing, plays in a swing. Barack smiles contendedly.]

VOICE OVER (announcer): Barack Obama, pallin' around with kids who probably ran across your yard.
