Default This new McCain ad is incredible

I can't believe it for several reasons:

1. It has Britney Spears and Paris Hilton, as if Obama is their type of celebrity

2. The German crowds and regimented chants are clearly designed to invoke the hysteria of Hitler's Nuremberg rallies

3. Offshore drilling is a loser for McCain in the general election. Does he not realize he really is only campaigning for the middle 70% of the populace?

DDD -- How do I imbed a YouTube video? TIA.

I think you dropped the zero after the seven.

I think those on the left are grossly underestimating how little the American people care about their pet causes when it means taking a hit in the pocketbook.

Don't you get this is the whole source of our paternalism? Of course we know it hurts you in the pocketbook, but we know better than you how to make it feel better, and it ain't with short term solutions.

That was really funny.

Levin, just click the Youtube button and then paste the Youtube ID number of the video (in this case oHXYsw_ZDXg) between the brackets.

Yes! Sacrifice! WE LOVE SACRIFICE! And solutions that take a long time to come to fruition. No sir, no instant gratification for the American people. McCain in a landslide.

The thing is that opening up more continental shelf to offshore drilling will not provide instant gratification; or I guess it will, just like a shot of heroin does.
