You've already decided to support Obama. The ad is not going to be persuasive for you. The real question is whether this ad, in combination with other ads and the media, will be effective at drawing doubts about Obama amongst undecided voters. Persuasive to who, Zach?

Kevin,

I’m not saying it wasn’t funny, I definitely see the humor in it.  I’m just saying it’s not persuasive.

Funny to one is stupid to another.  Such is the nature of humor. I’m not in the bag for McCain, I will not vote for the man, but I thought the second ad was kinda funny.

Whoda thunk? Red Sea-parting powers are a perk of office. Water into wine comes with age and experience. Yes, that means all parties at the White House under an Obama Administration will be B.Y.O.B.

Is it now a requirement to be president that you have to be able to part the Red Sea?
