What Was McCain Thinking?

If John McCain loses the election, and is licking his wounds in December, I think he will look back to the recent "rock star" attack ad and ask himself, "WHAT WAS I THINKING?"

The ad attempts to make Obama's popularity seem false; that is delusional. Obama IS that popular. He is also substantial--smart, realistic, a great communicator, and charismatic. To be technical--John McCain can't carry Obama's communicator jockstrap, and the world knows it. Even his own campaign staffers and major contributors acknowledge it.

Paris Hilton's parents contributed the legal maximum to McCain's campaign...I wonder how they will vote now that he has publicly insulted their daughter. (She is an easy target, and perhaps even a deserving one-- but how smart is it to show the world how petty and cruel you can be by publicly humiliating another human being like that? If there ever were any doubts about McCain's storied temper and vindictiveness, he just nuked them.)

I think this ad will backfire in a most embarrassing way.
