Response To RNC's New McCain Attack Ad 'Storm'

The RNC's newest McCain attack ad ("Storm") makes the case that John McCain would be a steadier presence in the Oval Office than Barack Obama. It's a silly ad, and not just because the financial crisis revealed McCain to be as herky-jerky as Obama is confident and composed.

When you're 72 and you've selected Sarah Palin as your running mate, the last argument you should be making is the experience argument. I've put together a response to the new RNC attack, turning the ad around on itself, and applying its line of attack to Palin. Here it is:

McCain's new desperate line of attack comes as news reports indicate that there is a growing schism between McCain and Palin, who is now looking towards maintaining her viability for 2012.

Apparently, now that McCain-land has moved on from wolves and bears, they're lost at at sea. This is a campaign that is falling apart, as well it should.
