Here’s the latest anti-Obama ad from Karl Rove & Co. The actual policy content is short and pro forma, so no need to pay attention to that. Mainly, it’s just a reminder that Obama is awfully, um, hip. He’s, you know, young and savvy….in an….urban kind of way. Not that there’s anything wrong with that.
I assume this is all just part of the mud-against-the-wall phase of the campaign, as the Rovesters try to get a bead on exactly which message makes Obama the least palatable to their heartland target audience. Unfortunately for them, this one makes Obama look a little too much like Will Smith, and I don’t think the heartland really has anything against Will Smith. But I’m sure they’ll learn from this and do better by the time summer rolls around.
