Imagine if he'd called her a monster...

John McCain presidential campaign advertisement

I'd completely forgotten about this image until last night when I rediscovered it buried deep in one of my folders.

It's a John McCain ad that I saw on YouTube on February 28. It was in the sidebar area, to the right of where videos play.

When you clicked on the ad it took you to a page arguing that McCain was the most electable Republican, so nominating him would make sure that Hillary Clinton didn't become president.

That's a fair message, but I don't recall ever seeing a more offensive image coming directly from a major political campaign.

I wonder why Clinton didn't make a big stink about it.

Can you imagine the outrage if it had been an Obama ad? (Even I would have condemned Obama, and I'm not the biggest Clinton fan.)
