Campaign 2008 Flashback: McCain Green Screen!


Crossposted at The Whole Delivery

Remember this!

Well, it is a flashback to last year at around this time, as John McCain's infamous green screen background was one of the fitting examples of how his campaign was arguably the worse in presidential history. 

On the night when then candidate and Senator Obama clinched the Democratic nomination, McCain's staff in Louisiana decided it was appropriate to place him in front of a green screen. Not a good idea to say the least.

Remember how Jeffrey Tobin reacted to it. Memorable:

And this one:


"Raiders of the Lost McCain:


The good old early 20th century background

The music is what makes that video my favorite. HIL-ARIOUS!

Boy, 2008 was a great year in politics, wasn't it.
