I assume the ads are made by an outside company.

Maybe the video editor is an Obama supporter :)

Or maybe they just couldn’t find any other footage of McCain shaking hands with a black woman.

Hat’s off to McCain and his useless campaign for making it possible for the public to see just how desperate and underhanded that he can be!
Do they really think that people are so foolish . . .WOW! This is a sad attempt to get the black vote.
