This is a new campaign ad for John McCain. Apparently, the McCain camp believe that if you hear “McCain is right” enough times, you’ll think that McCain is right and that Obama is not ready to lead. The first part is basic psychology and marketing. The second part is illogical. So much for straight-talking.
In nearly all those clips where Obama was agreeing with McCain, Obama was actually critising McCain. Obama was noting a point of agreement before continuing to what he disagreed.
Also, Brad Listi, who was live-blogging the debate, predicted that this type of advertising would happen. I’m not surprised either.
