Ad Wars: Special
Most of this new ad from the McCain camp feeds viewers the usual tropes: Obama's just a celebrity, he's inexperienced, he's not ready to lead. The really curious thing about the ad comes at the very end. Take a look, then let's talk about it:
You notice what I notice? Just at the very end: "Barack Obama's not ready... yet." Isn't that weird? The implication that comes with the "... yet," is that he will be ready, which seems like a strange qualifier to grant your opponent-- especially when your central argument against him is that he's not ready. Even if the line had just been "not ready yet," the impact would have been less, but that ellipsis really drives it home.
What do you think? Maverick tactic or nothing notable? Share your thoughts in a comment below...
