This answers the question that the previous negative anti-McCain ad implicitly asked, which is, "okay, so McCain is evil, but why would I want to vote for Obama?" It is an interesting piece of propaganda work because Obama both throws wonkish meat to the Democratic base (all the facts and figures) and does the emotive stroking needed to get the proles. Whether it will actually work... (shrug). We'll see. I'll just point out that H. Ross Perot's ads were much longer and much more wonkish and got far more votes for Perot than anybody expected...
