Obama uses Palin winking clip in new ad

http://link.brightcove.com/services/link/bcpid1185304443/bctid1885474357

Just saw this on Politico. 

Seems like a smart strategy, since it looks like he's criticizing McCain's decision making, not her.

Re: Obama uses Palin winking clip in new ad

  • I loved it.  I don't mind the lack of spoken words, it was great.
  • Interesting ad.

    But I still think in a way, it's a veiled criticism of HER. And you can guarantee the GOP and conservatives will see it that way. The "His choice?" + an image of Palin (Whether she's winking or not) is pretty clear.

    He's clearly saying Palin knows nothing about the economy...that's a criticism, even if it's true.

     

  • Her winking drives me insane!
    Slainte!

    My stepdad is blind and I just know that he would get nothing out of that ad and always points out how companies just lost money on that ad with him.

    Good point.

    But, I think on this issue, the winking is all you need to know about Palin.  I think that image of her making a mockery of the debate, of the substance, of the office she's running for by flirting with the camera is far, far more powerful than anything that has come out of her mouth. 

    So, in that sense, it makes sense that the ad is silent.

  • I wonder if the MPC will claim sexism.  I kind of hope they do, because that would just be so fun.
  • Wow. Very powerful. And LOL major... I was going to say that I think its strength lies in the no spoken words.

  • Just read your rationale, majoimager. Hope you don't think I was being insensitive!

    Just give me a call when MPC does *not* claim sexism.  B/c that's what they do these days.  I almost lost it, hearing Elisabeth Filsarki Haselbeck crying sexism over the clothes kerflufle at a Palin rally.  Get a grip.
