Presidential Commercials

When I was in North Carolina, I saw some commercials by McCain and some by Obama. I liked Obama's commercials more than McCain's because McCain's was insulting Obama. Obama's was just saying how he could be a good president.  -Ivy

McCain has a commercial saying Barack Obama is not ready to lead; I heard them too, but I forgot Barack's commercial. While Ivy made a point, they both want more votes. McCain thinks exploiting Barack's weaknesses is the way to go but I think that's not the way to go. For some people it convinces them to vote McCain but I doubt it will work. This could backfire because most voters think personality is important. One short commercial could cuase voters to switch to Barack.

Could you please use a bit more detail in your blog incl. what the commercials said? and how you think they are insulting?

That's called negative campaining, Ivy.

I agree, Ivy. McCain should spend more time talking about how to actually be a president than insulting the other party. It could even turn into a huge case of bragging and superiority. Also, Elizabeth, I don't mean to offend you, but your most recent comment sounded a little bit bad.
