Remember, months ago, when Hillary Clinton ran some ads that Obama supporters took issue with? Remember the “3 AM phone call” ad? Remember how the two sides argued about whether Clinton was being too unfair or misleading? And how the Clinton supporters all said, “If you think this is bad, wait until you see the Republican ads in the fall. They’ll make this look like child’s play.”
Those people didn’t prevail as far as getting their candidate nominated. But their prediction looks pretty smart, doesn’t it?
I’ve done my share of bashing the McCain campaign; I think a lot of people recognize now that his ads are over the line even for modern partisan politics. And I think, or at least hope, that people are starting to tune them out. Certainly the popular culture is beginning to get the fact that McCain will say anything to win.
