Obama needs to get an add out there with McCain using the Lipstick on a pig line- With something like "Yeah he's for change. Changing from honorable to dishonorable..." I'm a bit encouraged today by the Obama response. But they need to do precisely as you suggest: get a major ad campaign out there, going directly after the kind of disgusting campaign McCain is running. And contrast it with McCain's earlier statements about how he would run a high minded one.

I'm amazed anyone who heard McCain utter these lines himself can believe this crap It took me a while but I finally figured out that the problem isn't the pig but the lipstick. Lipstick is associated with women. Women who aren't familiar with the phrase may be offended rather like people who didn't know the meaning of "niggardly" were offended. It seems to me that "lipstick on a pig" applies pretty well to McCain being a repackaging of Bush. It's hard to know what to do about the people who don't know the meaning of "niggardly" or "putting lipstick on a pig." Ignorant people vote, too.
