McCain ad paints Dems as wolfpack hunting Palin
[cnn-photo-caption image= http://i2.cdn.turner.com/cnn/2008/images/09/10/art.wolfad.cnn.jpg caption="New McCain ad paints Democrats as a wolfpack hunting Palin."](CNN) - John McCain's campaign released a new ad Wednesday that portrays Democratic operatives as a vicious wolfpack hunting VP nominee Sarah Palin.
“The attacks on Governor Palin have been called ‘completely false’...’misleading,’” says the female announcer in the 30-second spot, which points to a report from Factcheck.org shooting down many attacks on the Alaska governor. “And they've just begun.”
Watch: The latest McCain ad does a fact check on Obama
The announcer cites a Wall Street Journal column that 30 Democratic lawyers and researchers have been “air dropped” into Alaska “dig dirt” on Palin.
That column, by pundit John Fund, cites anonymous sources in reporting that unnamed Democrats have descended on Anchorage. The Democratic National Committee and the Obama campaign have denied sending anyone to Alaska to conduct research into Palin’s past.
“As Obama drops in the polls, he'll try to destroy her,” says the announcer, as images of a wolfpack appear on screen. "Obama's politics of hope? Empty words."
The McCain campaign said the ad would be airing in “key states,” although it did not say where, or how extensive the buy would be.

Oh but wait. Obama will switch what he said. Don't worry he will say he really didn't mean it that way. Have you ever noticed how he will not look directly into the camera, kinda like his is trying to hide something. And what is so funny is now the Hillary lovers are saying that Obama should have chosen her for VP. So what are you saying, being a half is not bad?
One more thing, at least Saral Palin don't have a problem taking stand on an issue. Big hips Hillary is still playing to the camera.
Even I can see the ironic hypocrisy of the liberal Democrats. 🙁
That does it.
McCain just lost my vote.
Palin should take her backwoods brood back to Alaska so she can focus on her son and grandson.
I won't apologize for thinking that her mediocrity is good for America.
What a joke – does he not even know that the capital of Alaska is Juneau, not Anchorage. Makes one wonder what other mistakes, falsehoods, or out-and-out lies are emerging...
McCain has lost all credibility. He's going to keep his paperdoll VP hidden behind whiney ads and won't let the voters know who or what she really is.
How can anyone vote for a paperdoll for VP?
Can someone write Sarah Palin a new speech she sound like a tape recorder.
MCCAIN STICK TO THE ISSUES.....
I DON'T CARE ABOUT THE CHILDISH GAMES...
I AM REALLY TIRED OF THE SAME OLD POLITICS.
Personally, I am tired of all of this petty childish do as I say not as I do behavior. I believe McCain has used the pig and lipstick analogy (sp), why was it ok for him and not Obama?
As a woman, I would like to think we've come a long way, but the reality is...Governor Palin is in for a load of crap...it doesn't matter if you like her and her politics or not, she is a woman running for a traditionally male dominated field. She made a choice to accept the nomination, now she has to deal with the consequences of her choices.
Politics suck! If you aren't strong enough to stand up to the scrutiny of your choices, your reputation and your work history...get out of the game...and shut up about it. It's time to grow up.
I am one average American that is sick and tired of all this crap. Start talking about what is important in real life!!! the Economy! The war! Education! Health Care!
So I suppose we just have to ignore Palin now.
Fine!
Juneau is the capital of Alaska.
lets stop the crap. and get to the issues which you don't seem to get to any more. next month mcbabe won't pack the gear any more. the vets think you sold them out voting with mcbush. it will all fall apart soon. you are an empty suit. and mcbabe has to many problems.
What comes around goes around
.....and Obama's going down. – Thank GOD.
As one of the MANY former Hillary supporters....
McCain/Palin '08
She may have won John over in 15 minutes, but it going to take a little longer to impress me. When she comes out from hiding, let's talk. Until then, see ya.
I'm sure Al Quaeda is shaking in their boots, she may throw her tiara at them.
It is appalling to see the Maverick, man of integrity and honor sink to a low. It is shameful of McCain. Only in America can you get away with beauty that is skin deep or abysmal intelligence. The republicans have mastered the art of deception and the voting public seem to be following their trail. Great example of democracy at work!
This ad is a shame! Pityful!
I am now officially over the top disgusted. The GOP seems to think the American public is stupid. Unfortunately, from the poll numbers and some comments appearing on this ticker, apparently we are.
The acts like a dirty old man, and Gov Sarah Palin little red ridding hood. Lies, lies and more lies are more of the same and no real change..
John McCain and sold out america and he will continue to do the same if given the opportunity...
Aren't we ready for a change???????
"I am America, and I approves this message"
Democrats are worried. I don't blame you guys. Liberalism will never work in the U.S. I t's ok. Cananda, Mexico, Germany, France, Etc will be glad to welcome you home!!!
Democrats/Liberals/losers LOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOL still laughing.
It's always nice to get a reminder why I'm no longer a Republican. How pathetic.
Funny how 90% of the comments on here support Obama! Wonder if this is a prediction?
The Republicans are obviously trying to take the focus off the issues and the fact that Sarah Palin is lying about her record and so is John McCain. Don't buy into their garbage. Keep focusing on the issues and the truth.
A pig is a pig lipstick or not
Excellent, excellent, our diabolical plan is working perfectly.
Hit 'em back and hit 'em hard, John!
