Obama's "Should Be" Ads

While I think Obama and his team have consistently been underestimated for the campaigns that they have run, both in the primaries and now in the general, I'd like to see them start hitting McCain a little harder. Here are some good ideas for ads. Plus, there is a good ad in a senate race that is the type that I'd like to see.

Addition: It looks like Obama is hitting back, especially on the misconception that Palin was against the so-called Bridge to Nowhere. He has a new ad that points out that she was for the bridge project, although it doesn't mention that she ultimately kept the money the federal government sent here even after the project was killed. (She just spent it on other pork projects.)

With Obama's money on hand, I'd be cranking out new ads by the dozens and define this race state by state. With Palin still not speaking to the press, Obama should be seeking to define her to the nation. Next, go after the fact that she brought home not just big earmark pork for Wasilla as its mayor, but has the highest per-capita pork level for Alaska as its governor. Yep, she's a maverick all right. No?

Addition Two: Here is a third-party compilation that starts to do what I spoke of, although I'd like to see it with more polish.
