Newest McCain Ad

Here's McCain's latest ad, using Hillary's words against Obama, similar to the Biden piece they posted on Saturday.

I wasn't sure initially whether McCain's run-and-gun, wacky ads were going to be effective, but they seem to keep Barry on the defensive, so something must be working.

McCain has surprised me with his new message discipline and those crazy, risky "celebrity" ads -- in both cases, he is clearly deferring to good advice, rather than doing his unpredictable McCain-of-the-day jog through the China shop. If he ends up picking a guy he clearly hated in the primaries -- Romney -- rather than following his Liebermanesque impulses, we'll know that McCain is really playing to win.
