Can Someone Please Explain This To Me? [Mark Hemingway]Ok I'll bite, the ad says:A new Obama ad actually imagines a McCain victory and doesn't at all explain why that would be bad. Am I crazy or does it just make McCain look like a winner?
UPDATE: The headline is a tad sarcastic. Yes, obviously I understand it's to motivate his base but I was baffled by how the Obama camp doesn't seem to see the unintended meaning could easily overwhelm the intended meaning.
"it doesn't have to be that way, vote for change"It takes a far-right apparatchik like this Mark Hemingway to not understand why such a message helps Obama, particularly since it urges people to vote, and new voters favor Obama by wide margins...
Especially if that ad runs in a state that is more blue than red it will affect Obama's turnout for the better, which can make that state safer or give him more of a popular vote mandate.
