I’ve been bitching all campaign (as my father-in-law would say “that makes sense: you’re a liberal!”) about the Presidential candidates back and forth mudslinging. It seems that so much more airtime has been taken talking about the other guy than about themselves.

All I’ve wanted is for the candidates to talk about themselves, and only themselves. What are you up to? How’s your day? Got anything specific you want to tell me about your plans?

Well, Obama has done a fair job at that, but barely a fair job. McCain - nothing at all until I tuned into his Web site (the splash page videos were a good start). Now today I found the video below on The Huffington Post Web site, and I’ve got to say while there’s no specifics mentioned (”your investments? they’ll grow again…”), McCain at least kept Obama’s name (and his “friends”) out of the ad.

I love talking head ads that are 100% candidate - regardless of the script handed them.

I can’t believe I’m saying this: Score one for McCain. Take away half a point for the lack of specifics, but give the half back because it’s 100% McCain.
