McCain's new ad

Normally I wouldn't be one to pass along a Republican attack ad via this blog. However, I think McCain's new ad is sufficiently interesting (and sufficiently relevant to yesterday's post) to make an exception. Once again, McCain is trying to harness the "Hillary Haridans" against Obama, this time by suggesting that her truth-speaking was the reason that the Obama camp never seriously considered her as a VP contender.

This is, of course, utter ridiculousness. There are countless reasons why Obama didn't choose Clinton, and I doubt her "truth-speaking" makes the top ten. Nevertheless, I think the ad highlights Obama's big mistake in not at least making a basic effort to make it seem as if Senator Clinton was on the short list. How hard would it have been to request her financials and other vetting material? Even if he never so much as looked at it?
