From CNN Associate Political Editor Rebecca Sinderbrand
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." Filed under: John McCain Political ads
