John McCain's new ad highlights his courage as a POW but also tries to mix in faith... oddly:
"A higher being"? Those words are toxic to the Republican base. They are akin to saying, "a great spiritual force" or "Shirley McClaine" or "a life force". If he was trying to appear spiritual to religious conservatives he failed miserably. If he was trying to distance himself from them it was a very odd way to do it. An odd, odd commercial.
[NOTE: ERROR, THIS WASN'T A MCCAIN CAMPAIGN "COMMERCIAL" - IT WAS A TRIBUTE BY A SUPPORTER]

Great post DS well said!
Talk about ODD commercials. How about Huckabee's Chuck Norris Commercial? Are we now supposed to take him seriously up here in NH?
David: Here's a true American hero who has sacrificed for God, country and his fellow man beyond anything you can ever imagine -- and you criticize his choice of words. To you, concepts of faith and Christianity are theories to be talked and written about. To Senator McCain, they were realities that kept him alive. You should be ashamed of yourself.

There's not a single Republican in America who's a member of AA?
BTW:
Paul Galanti is an interesting guy. And anyone who did that much time in the Hanoi Hilton, as did McCain, deserves our salute -- regardless of the election.
