Apparently, He Will Never Surrender

Now we all know that McCain likes T.R. and thinks he is like Churchill, but this new campaign ad takes things a bit far.  Besides, it doesn’t really work that well, since more screen time is devoted to two dead politicians than to the one who is actually running for office.  (It’s also possible that the comparison between the two famous men and McCain works to McCain’s disadvantage.)  By comparison, the heavy-handed “American President Americans have been waiting for” ad was much better as an advertisement for the candidate.
