Obama Ready to 'Duel' McCain

From the Hill's Briefing Room comes an article from Walter Alarkon who is reporting that John McCain's new ad comparing Barack Obama to pop stars Britney Spears and Paris Hilton has bloggers on both sides in a tizzy. While conservative bloggers find it effective, liberal bloggers and a former McCain aide call it childish.

It's too bad McCain has to resort to factually inaccurate attack ads so early in the campaign. I think it show that his "straight talk" persona is more media hype then  genuine.
