The McCain camp released “The One: Road to Denver” Web video Friday.
The McCain camp released “The One: Road to Denver” Web video Friday.

(CNN) — The One has returned.

John McCain's campaign released a sequel to its Web video about presumptive Democratic nominee Barack Obama that used footage of Charlton Heston as Moses parting the Red Sea, images of light streaming from the heavens, and a gospel choir to paint Obama as an arrogant politician who bought into near-messianic hype over his candidacy.

They're all back "by popular demand," according to McCain spokesman Brian Rogers — along with new footage of Obama bodysurfing on his recent Hawaiian vacation — in the latest release.

On a day when coverage of the presumptive Republican nominee has been dominated by his inability to immediately recall how many homes he owns, his campaign is hoping that "The One" can save the news cycle.

Earlier: 'They will call him The One,' says McCain Web ad

In 'The One: Road to Denver,' House Speaker Nancy Pelosi is quoted calling Obama "a leader that God has blessed us with at this time," and a recording of Virginia Governor Tim Kaine — a top Democratic VP prospect — is played in which he expresses relief that Obama's call for a cease-fire in Georgia has been heeded.

"His hand guides the world," says the announcer.

"…In Denver, you will see the light," the announcer says later. "He may be 'The One,' but is he ready to lead? No."

What a waste of supporters donations.

I can't stand his approach on much of anything. McCain not only jokes about war with bomb…bomb…bomb…iran, he is now personally insulting the next President of the United States.

There are so many reasons why I don't agree with McCain on foreign and domestic issues ESPECIALLY women issues…but now McCain is just a joke to me.

TERRY GILL   August 21st, 2008 5:43 pm ET

This is getting so old! How about the issues, MCccain…I watched a recent interview, the question was on the tax policy. Obama was straight forward with answers. McCain skirted the issue. What does that tell you!

Alan Boyer   August 21st, 2008 5:43 pm ET

John McCain's Resume:

*US Senate AWOL-26 years
*Adulterer-7 years
*POW-5 years
*Beer Distributor-2 years

Yep, he's just what America needs!

True   August 21st, 2008 5:43 pm ET

As long as McCain isn't the one, I'll be happy.

Looks like McCain actually has a Man Crush on Obama ;) xoxxox

Christian, Tampa FL   August 21st, 2008 5:43 pm ET

Stupid. This nonsense isn't going to work anymore, and I'm still angry that the McCain campaign is openly mocking Obama's supporters. If my candidate, Obama, was making fun of McCain's supporters, I'd chastise him as well.

Davd   August 21st, 2008 5:43 pm ET

OBama needs an ad calling McCain "The Other"

I'm going to cry.

R.I.F.   August 21st, 2008 5:42 pm ET

Hopefully the media won't fall for this attempt to change the subject. Today is about McCain and the fact that he can't remember how many homes he owns while he

Lost (maybe) in CNN Moderation   August 21st, 2008 5:42 pm ET

Way to go evangelicals. McCain's your man. I didn't know blasphemy was no longer considered a sin.

I'm surprised they didn't throw in the POW card in since he can't go a day without reminding everyone that he's a war hero. I'd still like McCain to fully release his military records so I can judge for myself how much of a war hero he is.

Jeremy   August 21st, 2008 5:42 pm ET

Hopefully he is "The One" and all you sheep can finally get what you've been hoping for: The Rapture.

Oscar P   August 21st, 2008 5:42 pm ET

Anyone else out there suspicious about Cindy McCain's sudden arm injury? I know the campaign says it was a hard hand shake but would you expect anything else?

He has a quick temper. He's been known to cuss her out in public, try to physically attack fellow senators. Whose to say the stress of the campaign hasn't been getting to him and quick draw McCain, was fighting with his wife, she tried to walk away and he grabbed her arm hard and yanked? Just saying……

kayla   August 21st, 2008 5:42 pm ET

YES , HE IS THE ONE THAT WILL BLOW YOU OUT THE WATER, YOU OLD GOAT.

Davd   August 21st, 2008 5:42 pm ET

Perhaps the religous will see this literally, and really want "The One". Careful Mr McCain, this might just catch on!

Jason -NV   August 21st, 2008 5:41 pm ET

Wow, I guess McCain is smart enough to realize he can't win on the issues huh?? Guess we have hit smear and fear mode?

MCCAIN IS IN FAVOR OF A DRAFT ! ! !
18-35 years old? See ya in Iraq, Afgan, Russia, or China guys!
McCain has made it clear that Russia and China are on his hit list.
For the love of country people, can we all grow up??????????????

Terry, Lakeland Florida   August 21st, 2008 5:41 pm ET

oh and lets talk about the K5 scandal. I'd post it there but CNN tends to close comments when they feel like it….which is normally within seconds. McCain was only included in the K5 because the left wing Dems wanted to include a non-dem. It should have been the K4 (All Dems) McCain was clear of all wrong doing and it's a well documented fact that he should never have been included in that scandal. How about you guys do some research, it only took me around 5 minutes to dig up all the facts…you should try fact finding sometimes.

Erika M. NYC   August 21st, 2008 5:41 pm ET

I never planned on voting for McCain but at least I respected the man. This is a low for him and I have now lost respect for him. I am a Christian and I think this is offensive. It has all sorts of anti-Christ overtones and I don't think it's lighthearted humor as McCain's campaign would have us believe. Attacks like these are just wrong. I would prefer to know what McCain's stance is on issues and how they differ from Obama's stance. I don't want to hear about questioning judgement because where was McCain's when this video was released? And what happened to McCain's commitment to run an election fight on the issues???

cindy's limp wrist   August 21st, 2008 5:40 pm ET

Yes he is, and he's also the ONE that will win come november.

McLame = no shame.

Get a Grip   August 21st, 2008 5:39 pm ET

Maybe McCain thought this up when he was in the "cone of silence" on the way to Rick Warren's church!!!

Doreen J.   August 21st, 2008 5:38 pm ET

How long until the US electorate find these ads juvenile - enough is enough. Is that the best the Reps have?

ex-Republican for Obama   August 21st, 2008 5:38 pm ET

Is he ready to lead? Yes.

Terry, Lakeland Florida   August 21st, 2008 5:38 pm ET

How about you guys listen to the ad, rather then throwing out your left wing attacks. The Dems (Yes you) Are calling Obama the second coming of Christ..not the repubs. Nancy Pelosi seems to think he's the second coming. Why should McCain not point that out. Heck I bet most of you already have a small shrine built.

Chut Pata   August 21st, 2008 5:38 pm ET

I would rather have the "One" rather than the entire oil mafia, that plundered my country for 8 years, to go on for another 4 years.

A CANUCK   August 21st, 2008 5:37 pm ET

McCain is just like Hillary………really ticked off because Barack Obama is …..honest …educated…..bright…..moral…….decent…..forward thinking….and is also very easy on the eyes. He will be the victor….because good will prevail over evil. OBAMA 2008

Gene   August 21st, 2008 5:37 pm ET

Does anyone else here think McCain has the mentality of a spoiled child?

November 4th Is the Day Of Reckoning   August 21st, 2008 5:37 pm ET

We love this country too much to let John McCain demolish it. So Barack H. Obama is my number ONE choice. Thank you for reminding me GOP.

The One and Only Candidate for this Country at this TIME.

anonmouys   August 21st, 2008 5:37 pm ET

hillary not the only one that can make obama win

Lucieann   August 21st, 2008 5:36 pm ET

I guess desperation has set in with John McCain….Obama is the "One", and McCain is the "Not!"

Another grumpy old white woman for Obama   August 21st, 2008 5:36 pm ET

Anybody left out there who believes this crap must have been hiding under a rock for the last 4 months. If they believe it, it is because they want to (and would not have voted for Obama anyway ) OR they have as much intelligence as a soda cracker. They have to show it on TV because they are appealing to those who can't read.

rkoloski   August 21st, 2008 5:36 pm ET

I want to see one with McCain superimposed over Marlin Brando's character in "Apocalypse Now"…

He's the Surge'in General…
In his world, the war never stopped…

Then, in response to the inevitable rage, a simple, "just kidding - gotta keep your sense of humor."

Max   August 21st, 2008 5:36 pm ET

McCain has an annoying habit of taking a ho-hum joke and repeating it until someone spares him a chuckle. This ad was stupid the first time, and it's even stupider now.

One Chance America   August 21st, 2008 5:35 pm ET

McLame is so jealous. Yes, Barack is still the right ONE for this country. I wish I could say the same for McCain, but I can't. He's the right one to start a war, and keep this country's economy in the toilet.

Obama 08, Yes– he is the one.

ek   August 21st, 2008 5:35 pm ET

This ad does not even make sense? Why doen't McCain focus on the issues? Oh that's right , because he is a war mongering old fool!

We're Still Having Fun & He's Still The One   August 21st, 2008 5:34 pm ET

Still the one…..

Obama 08

Sharon   August 21st, 2008 5:33 pm ET

You've GOT to be kidding me?! Who would want this old LAME old fart for president when he can even manage to get a good smear ad going. COME ON!!!

Obama '08- HURRY UP ALREADY!

Debra Austin, Texas   August 21st, 2008 5:33 pm ET

I think McCain has dementia and Schmidt has limited impact. He's surely no Karl Rove.

Rich in Seattle   August 21st, 2008 5:32 pm ET

That's funny, because when I think of McCain I think of him as being "Number Two".

Orlando   August 21st, 2008 5:32 pm ET

The GOP political hacks responsible for this are going to burn in Hell. I have never seen such blasphemy from anyone. How any American and how any Christian could vote for McCain after the jokes the GOP have made about Christianity and the Bible is beyond me. This man McCain and his handlers are a blot on the Christian faith and should be welcomed in Hell by Satan himself.

I'm Wishing On A Star...   August 21st, 2008 5:31 pm ET

President Obama gave former Senator John McCain a phone call to wish him well on his 78th birthday. News at 11:00.

eleanor owen   August 21st, 2008 5:31 pm ET

McCain is very dangerous for our Country. You better believe Obama
is the one and he is ready to lead. I trust his judgment. I mistrust
McCain. He can't tell the truth, he is old and at best senile and he is
part of the Bush regime.
Wake up America! The majority says they do not approve of Bush,
they do not like the way in which the country is going, yet the polls say
almost half would vote for McCain? who offers the same and worse.
What are these people thinking?

just thinking   August 21st, 2008 5:31 pm ET

Didnt George Bush beat McCain 8 years ago? If Georgie was the better candidate then, what has McCain done to improve himself.

McCain was not ready to lead 8 years ago, and is still not ready to lead now.

People better wake up and think.
vote for Bush = mistake
vote for McCain = stupid.

NObama 2008   August 21st, 2008 5:28 pm ET

Actually, Obama stuck his foot in his mouth criticizing McCain and McCain came back strongly saying Obama surely didn't want to get into a bttle over who was closer to those bitter americans who cling to religion and guns.

Obama is losing it big time and is looking like a whiny, pouty little child.

Hank   August 21st, 2008 5:27 pm ET

Wrinkled old gray haired man still yelling at clouds.

Lisa   August 21st, 2008 5:27 pm ET

Yeah he's definitely "The One", The one who will lose to Mccain if Hillary's not on the ticket!!!

Shannon, MD   August 21st, 2008 5:26 pm ET

McCain's just jealous that he's not the ONE. LOL

In my opinion McCain will never be the one, unless we're looking for a doddering old fool charging up the hill with no one behind him.

Obama 08

FL4Obama   August 21st, 2008 5:26 pm ET

Obama should rebut McCain direct and clean for this blasphemous nonsense by exposing how disresrespectful McCain is being to people of faith. It would further contrast Obama's values as a man of religious decency. Obama '08

randy   August 21st, 2008 5:26 pm ET

So even McBush sees Obama as the only one who can change things.

Perhaps the rest of the his cronies will see it too.

gotcha   August 21st, 2008 5:26 pm ET

Can Obama spell jealous? He sounds like it and I hope he can spell it. If someone has worked very hard and aquired several houses, so what? You can do it also. Good for him. Obama is a jerk.

Xavier, Saint Louis, Missouri   August 21st, 2008 5:24 pm ET

Totally Tasteless!

greenhx, Yes I have to agree with you. McStooge ads are mocking the Christian faith. However, come November the joke will be on him.

YES WE CAN!

Laura, IN   August 21st, 2008 5:24 pm ET

Well, that's one thing McCain has said right. He is still the ONE, the one person who can turn the tables from the WORST PRESIDENCY IN MODERN HISTORY.

angie - dallas -28   August 21st, 2008 5:24 pm ET

same crap different day… that's how the repugs like to play nothing new
but making personal comments about the blue no real material
this already shows what kind of a president McBush will be.

same old ads, SAME OLD POLITICS!!!

bringing NOTHING NEW TO THE TABLE- THAT'S THE McBush WAY!!

hillybilly   August 21st, 2008 5:24 pm ET

i'll vote for the 'messiah' over the devil incarnate ,any day.any other christians care to join me?

gm   August 21st, 2008 5:24 pm ET

It should be a disgrace to any politician for their campaign (supporters) to use any reference to Christianity or any other religion to attck another person's camapign for office. If this is the only way McCain and his campaign staff can win votes they better take a hard look at themselves. All persons of any religion should turn their back on this kind of smut. Enough is enough>

Colin -- Southern California   August 21st, 2008 5:24 pm ET

Look, if he's The One, we'd be fools to vote for McCain.

Frankly, I want The One running our Matrix, not Republican Agents who want to use us all as batteries for their diabolical purposes.

I'm voting for The One!!!

OBAMA 2008

Dosteovsky   August 21st, 2008 5:23 pm ET

OMG did I just hear McCain's campaign say being a POW affected his memory? They said he can't recall the number of houses he has because he was a POW? We don't want damaged, wrinkled brains in the white house.

Obama IS the ONE! It's about time America reclaimed her position. (and not the bent over one McCain's proposing ….)

Angela   August 21st, 2008 5:23 pm ET

I too vote for Obama as "The One".

Never McCain!!!

Obama is way smarter than McCain. Mcain was 5th from the bottom out of 895.

EDW   August 21st, 2008 5:23 pm ET

This is where the negative began. Obama would seem weak if he just sat and took it.

McCain is just fine with reinstating the draft. If you have kids you should be greatly concerned.

Dameun Strange   August 21st, 2008 5:22 pm ET

Yep. He is The One. The One I will vote for.

GO OBAMA 08!!!

No more politics of fear, Mr. Quick Draw McCain

Cynthia   August 21st, 2008 5:22 pm ET

Senator McCain makes some of the dumbest commericals and I can't see why people would believe him. Senator McCain is making a huge mistake in his mocking Christianity. He will eventually see making commericals about the "One" will in the end be his downfall.

Grandpa McCain needs to stop his fascination with the messiah. The conservatives still don't trust him and he is starting to freak me out.

Old white woman in Alabama   August 21st, 2008 5:20 pm ET

How childish, you think a man of McCain's age could come up with something of substance.

Paul Dobro   August 21st, 2008 5:19 pm ET

Does McShame really think this whole campaign is a joke? The distruction of America under Bush and we should just laugh off any solution?

Hey Straight Talk Express, if this keeps up, you'll have to go hire folks from Comedy Central to be on your staff.

Jeff D, South Bend, IN   August 21st, 2008 5:19 pm ET

The McCain campaign is utterly pathetic. Catering to the idiot population with lies and distortions is beneath his record of military and public service.

Ejm   August 21st, 2008 5:19 pm ET

When will McCain start discussing the issues instead of producing this negativity? I think the ad is absurd. I am undecided, but this type of ad has me leaning towards Obama.

Jeronimo!   August 21st, 2008 5:18 pm ET

McWaynes adolescent antics got him shot down over Vietnam.

If elected this 72 year old adolescent will make us all POW's (Prisoners Of another 4 years of George "W").

Again I ask…

What 'else' are the Republicans gonna RUN on…?

Their RECORD??????

PUH-LEEEEZZ!

Its easier to insinuate he is the antichrist and get it over with….

Texas Straight Talker   August 21st, 2008 5:17 pm ET

Does McCain ever intend to discuss the issues or tell us how he plans to lead as POTUS? Better yet, is he EVER going to explain why we should believe he is such a man of honor who uses straight talk when he cheated on his first wife and even filed for a marriage license while still legally married to his first wife? He used the excuse "that was over 30 years ago" as if that makes it ok. I am so sick and tired of him getting a free ride in the press while Senator Obama is under a microscope constantly!. When will he be held accountable for his mistakes, lies and gaffs? CNN when will you cover both candidates FAIRLY?????

Joseph, Los Angeles California   August 21st, 2008 5:17 pm ET

I think it's a very silly and childish ad coming from so-called adults. He's treating us like George Bush does; like children.

I'm voting Obama!

Ken in Dallas   August 21st, 2008 5:16 pm ET

Well.

Isn't that special?

No more McBush!   August 21st, 2008 5:16 pm ET

Typical gutter politics from the right - no surprise here. Comparing Obama to Moses - God's chosen one… We'll at least this will kill the muslim smear and bring more Christians and Jews to Obama's side!

Whatever happened to JMC's vow to run a "respectful campaign" vs. Obama or Clinton? You can Google it yourself: mccain pledges respectful campaign. The story ran in April this year.

No respect for JMC now, none whatsoever. Obama is hitting JMC on the issues and his Bush-like policies–those are all fair game. JMC and co. are fabricating stories.

Not that they actually care what you and I say or think, but SHAME upon them.

Cathy in MD   August 21st, 2008 5:14 pm ET

Desperation at its worst. And if it makes you feel any better, Senator Reid, I can't stand John McCain, either.

McCain's friend   August 21st, 2008 5:13 pm ET

You guys are so mean! Kind of sad that my friend, Senator McCain, can't remember that he only has 4 houses. Is that a short term or long term memory misfire? He's probably got a medical problem, but all you can do is poke fun at him. Not very nice of you!

Either way, don't anyone ask him how many toes he has! Could be publicly humiliating for his staff to get down on their knees to count them for him….

Denise   August 21st, 2008 5:13 pm ET

I do not fine anything wrong with this. I'd like to see McCain body surfing. The Obama campaign can tae this ad and turn it into a positive. I can see how this can be done.

Why do republicans keep sending us these silver spooned boys?

Chris   August 21st, 2008 5:12 pm ET

I agree that this seems a bit blasphemous. An odd tactic when you are aiming for Christian conservatives. I also think it is a bad idea for him to show Obama bodysurfing (virile). McCain would probably get more of a result from attacking the "above my pay grade" comment.

Obama 08/12   August 21st, 2008 5:11 pm ET

A must read
Go to "Military .Com " read the story by Philip Butler first hand information .Very interesting
Did you know grampa has not only lost his marbles its called childish he is regressing back to a baby and not far off is already wrinkled and depends on Depends is getting close now folks
so get youselves prepared he will soon be crossing that line .
I thought I was "The One " so how can there be 2 of us ? McWar you are confused again but thats just an everday experience for you isnt it McWar ?

I wish Mr. McCain would stop insulting those of us who are evangelicals but not haters and fear mongers. He makes fun of our faith in every one of these ads. Does he really expect my vote?
We have had messianic Presidents before: Kennedy, Reagan… and they were our BEST presidents. Why would we not vote to a return to the high road of morality in America? McCain will tear us apart for personal gain.

nobama - the democrats' new pariah. oops i mean messiah.

way to coronate the paris hilton of politics. he's famous and nobody knows why. probably because if you don't jump on his bandwagon you're called a racist. the dems are going to throw away the third guaranteed presidency in a row with another junk candidate hand picked by the DNC. maybe they should stop crowning which nominee is going into the general election.

nobama belongs on SNL and maybe a cameo in a B-grade movie. not leading the free world with zero experience and zero substance.

Ron   August 21st, 2008 5:11 pm ET

liz   August 21st, 2008 5:08 pm ET

as usual, mcsame refuses to say anything of substance, so he makes an ad that is pure fiction and conjecture.

Obama has NEVER implied that he is some holy being, only McCain and his cohorts have implied that he thinks of himself that way. Unlike McCain, Obama has WORKED for his accomplishments, he didn't dump his first wife to marry into money and power.

Obama is very open about being a human who has made mistakes, meanwhile McCain conveniently forgets his own lack of morals and good judgement.

Jann, Denver CO   August 21st, 2008 5:08 pm ET

My God McCain is stupid. I can't believe such an immature fool is running for office.

Lynn   August 21st, 2008 5:07 pm ET

I'm so sorry people but Obama just won't do!! Obama is just a Tug and a tricker! Mabe know all you slug's out thier can get off the drugs and stop drinking, work hard and you own your own house too. Mr. McCain is the biggest role model for this dying Country. Shame on Obama !!!

Renee   August 21st, 2008 5:07 pm ET

If he is the "One", than he is ready to lead. You cant lead and not be the One. GOP=Stupidity.

Peter (CA)   August 21st, 2008 5:06 pm ET

No JC, we hate these ads because they play to the lowest common demoniator. I thought McCain had said he wanted to run an upbeat campaign…where is that?

Who but the lame right wing has labeled Obama "the One"? Why not discuss real issues? Maybe because McCain does not understand the economy, is wrong on the war, and does not care about health care??

Craig- Easton, PA   August 21st, 2008 5:03 pm ET

Whatever shred of respect I retained for Senator McCain is now gone. Considering that I planned to vote for him in 2000 had he stayed in the race, that's something. As a Christian, I find this stuff highly offensive and as an American, I find it even more insulting. Yet another confirmation for why I left the GOP after decades of support.

Why won't McCain talk about the issues in his ads? Could it be that he has no argument? Could it be that he has nothing to contribute to the United States?

Michele, Pittsburgh, PA   August 21st, 2008 5:03 pm ET

Putting out garbage like this is not the way you go about getting the votes of Christian voters. Senator McCain, you used to be above ads like this. I'm not sure if I'm voting Obama, but I know I could not cast mine for McCain.

I hope the Repubs and undecideds who watch this ad realize just how STUPID McPander thinks they are. Self-respecting voters should feel profoundly insulted by him.

By contrast , notice how Obama engages people across the political spectrum intellectually and emotionally.

McSame has NOTHING to offer but his tired war stories, and he knows it. That's why he must resort to such ad hominem nonsense.

Truth   August 21st, 2008 5:01 pm ET

Adam LA, that is an excellent point. It would be interesting to hear Pastor Warren's position on McCain's use of blasphemous advertising for political purposes.

Please report on it CNN, including Focus on the Family and other religious organizations. Your Christian viewers would appreciate it.

Jason in Tucson   August 21st, 2008 5:01 pm ET

Even better than the last one, directly showing just how ludicrous Obama sounds sometimes. Lighting coming down to shine on people? What is Barack smoking?

I mean, seriously, do we need a president with a messianic complex? Do we need a president who is more interested in building his cult of personality than actually affecting real change and working to improve our economy and our standing in the world? Some of the people commenting on this blog might drink the kool-aid, but I won't.

al in memphis   August 21st, 2008 4:59 pm ET

According to these ads, Obama must be running for the lead in the next Matrix movie. Someone send the Republicans a message that he is running for president. This is not money well spent–just like some of the tax breaks for wealthy, take the jobs overseas, corporations.

aohs   August 21st, 2008 4:59 pm ET

McCain is bound and determined to run the most despicable presidential campaign in history.

I wouldn't trust this man to run my garbage disposal.

MLH   August 21st, 2008 4:59 pm ET

These ads are lame and stupid, and potentially offensive to any number of viewers. The fact that the McCain campaign fails to see what is offensive speaks volumes about the type of people providing input, and is the best argument as to why Senator McCain should most definitely not lead our country.

Mark G   August 21st, 2008 4:58 pm ET

Obama talks about McCain's not remembering how many homes he has, the fact that McCain thinks you have to make over $5 million to be rich, and McCains stances on the economy and his foreign policy (start a war). Americans are losing their homes, their jobs, and paying outrages prices for gas and groceries. People are in desperate need for help and all McCain can give us is "Obama is The One"…c'mon…are you kidding me? We have serious issues…we need a serious person to help us out. I for one can't afford to play these stupid games with my future and the future of my family…I am voting Obama.

Very witty comment, I like it. It's like when Obama was posed the question about going back to Iraq.

Obama said, "if Al Qaeda came back to Iraq after we withdraw, after American troops are withdrawn, then I would send military troops back if Al Qaeda established a base in Iraq.

McCain said, "Al Queda is in Iraq. It's called 'Al Queda in Iraq'" . Whoops :)

Using it to disparage OBAMA is crazy, OBAMA will release McCain ads targeting him as the one who say anything to get elected, they have done it for decades, the GOP/RNC, this time CHANGE will take place from the bottom up and not the top down like the GOP is use to!

You’ll need to pray and get a clear understanding before it’s too late. Many will be lost because of the lack of knowledge.

This is absolutely brilliant. You can criticize all you want, but it works. That is the definition of brilliant. The problem with Obama supporters is that they are too self-absorbed to take a step back and admit a clever and effective ad when they see one.

Rick Warren is a liar. He stood on stage and lied to the nation as he knew John McCain was not even in the building. He knew John McCain cheated; and Warren was willing (and did) to help McCain look good and lie. So much for being a Christian leader.

McCain should stop with the message about Obama being the one and say he is the one that is the elitist the that doesn't know that there are people losing there homes and jobs the one that has so many homes he can't keep count of them.The one that Phil Gramm said that we were whiners when people said they were hurting.McCain is truly out of touch with the American people.I have seen where it is 7 and then 10 so I hope he can remember which home it is that he is suppose to go to at the end of the campaign.Maybe he will rememeber where the three in morning call comes from without having to rely on his staff to tell him where it was from.

WeBoDave   August 21st, 2008 4:50 pm ET

Senator McCain has been making negative ads since at least March when he implied Obama was "unamerican" which is clearly racist. Obama's ads have substantive criticism of McCain's policies, campaign or his actual quotes. How many negative ads have McCain and the RNC produced now, CNN? Is it substantive to portray Obama as elite, celebrity or "the one" which can equally be applied to Senator McCain?

Looks like to me that even McCain's camp knows that Obama is "The One" who is going to win. Depicting your opponent as the guy with all the interest, momentum, strength, popularity, and enthusiasm seems a weird tactic, and one that's destined to fail. But I suppose McCain will have plenty of time to sit around lamenting his choice of these ads when he's sitting a home in late November, wondering why he got beaten so badly.

John McCain's campaign released a sequel to its Web video about presumptive Democratic nominee Barack Obama that used footage of Charlton Heston as Moses parting the Red Sea, images of light streaming from the heavens, and a gospel choir to paint Obama as an arrogant politician who bought into near-messianic hype over his candidacy.
