Anybody think the latest Obama ad is designed to push McCain over the edge?

If so, it certainly seems to be doing its job.

I must say that when I first saw McCain's attack on Mika, I was thinking WTH?

But when I saw the ad, I'm like. ooooooh.

6. Yep. Keep the pressure ratcheted up and keep picking on his verbal faux pas.
He WILL make them because he is an abysmal speaker. And he doesn't tolerate being picked at for making those mistakes very well.

2. Gosh, I hope it does!
My WTF moment came when he mentioned a 9/11 commission out of nowhere. THAT was truly disturbing!

3. He doesn't have the temperament to handle campaigning. Neither does Palin.
He is used to being revered as the 'honest, straight talking guy' and she is used to being cut slack because she is a PILF. Neither one of them is going to hold up well being picked apart by the media. I honestly expect McCain to have a serious public meltdown before it is all over.

9. He certainly doesn't have the temperament to run a sleazy
campaign and take the heat for it.

He doesn't like being held accountable for his campaign. What an ass.

4. What's so outrageous...
...is that Mika has been a very vocal supporter of Palin. She has continually
sung her praises and she lambasted people who seemed to pile on Palin.

I have loads of problems with Mika. She can be a parrot sometimes--taking her
cues from everyone around her--especially Joe.

However, one thing is clear--she has been a friend to Sarah Palin.

McCain looks like a mean, old man who is in the throes of losing his mind.

7. If the "Honor" ad didn't push him over the edge - I don't think this will.

8. It Can't Happen Too Soon!
We can't wait until November 4th to light that short fuse. His legend instability needs to be exposed for all to see asap...for all of our sake.

11. Thanks for the morning treat.
My co-worker and I just watched "Fundamentals" a bunch of times. She's emailing it to everyone she knows.

I could only get through about 3 minutes of the Morning Joe clip. But right away, when they first cut to McCain as they welcomed him on to the show, he looked terrible. Mentally unstable, even.
