St. Paul Scoop: McCain's Video Blitz

Right-leaning video-sharing Web site Eyeblast.tv has posted a rundown of the copious television and Internet advertisements that presumptive Republican presidential nominee John McCain's campaign has churned out in the past month. As one might imagine, the clips take the Democrats' nominee, Barack Obama, to task on all sorts of issues, and the author, Danny Glover, argues they "have hit their mark dead center."

Take a stroll down memory lane -- from the July 21 "Pump" ad, which asks who is to blame for higher gas prices, to the July 30 "Celeb," which calls Obama “the biggest celebrity in the world” and compares him with Paris Hilton and Britney Spears. There's also the flurry of ads that came as the Democratic National Convention ran its course like the Aug. 22 "Joe Biden On Barack Obama," which resurrected criticism of the Illinois Democrat, and Aug. 26 "Tiny," which takes a jab at Obama's thoughts on the threat Iran poses to the United States and Israel.

The latest Internet video was released Wednesday. Dubbed “Remote Control,” it shows scenes of dangers in the world as leading Democrats criticize Obama’s foreign policy views and as Obama professes himself to be “a believer in knowing what you’re doing.” Read the full blog post here.
