Obama's:

McCain's:

Obviously McCain's was made before the debate was even over.  I don't know why I made this a poll, it's an obvious stomping.

I initially thought both were web-ads, but Obama's campaign claims his ad is on the air.

Or about Biden.  No one cares if Biden says Obama will be the worst president ever.

That ad is just so... bad, in so many ways except the scary-looking Obama cutout.

Swing voters don't care about Biden, I doubt he even has a high name-recognition among them.  And they certainly don't care about the Iraq War this week.

So much talk about the middle class. How about some talk about the lower class? I guess a black candidate can't go there.

Well, there are only two classes when it comes to American politics these days:  The middle class and the wealthy.

Lower class people and lower-upper class people all consider themselves middle class.

I wouldn't be surprised if 80% of America thought of themselves as middle class.

'middle class' is a euphemism for 'working class'

These slack-ass losers wouldn't be lower class if they would just get up and work.

Oh, yeah, the job market is just fantastic.

I thought middle class was a nice way of saying poor? I thought we had successfully gotten rid of that "middle class" that existed in the 1950s to 1970s.

What do you think "working families" is supposed to mean?  It's the new Democrat codeword for poor.

LOL McCain's ad.

*three Obama clips, sorta taken out of context, saying he agrees with McCain*

"Is Obama ready to lead? No."

After my first, casual view it almost seemed like McCain's campaign were calling its own positions wrong.

Nah. That's the "upper-middle class".
