The latest set of ads by the McCain camp against Barack Obama are comical. They have compared him to Britney Spears, Paris Hilton and Moses. I think they're doing him a huge favor. They keep showing pictures of him being cheered by huge crowds, often waving American flags.

And as you can tell from this interview that McCain's campaign manager, Rick Davis has with Andrea Mitchell on MSNBC, they are just pissed that they are not as popular as Obama. What a sad, weird way to run a campaign:




I think the only thing they are doing right in this regard is that by constantly attacking Obama, they have him playing defense and they have switched the conversation into one that is centered around whether Obama should be president. In fact, we should be talking about how the Republican have run this country into the ground over the last eight years -- and do we want that to continue for another four years? While McCain's ads are strangely complimentary of Obama in an unintended way, Obama still needs to change the topic.
