Steering campaigns

Political consultants, sometimes receiving more than their fair share of media exposure, have been blamed for many things: speeches that send a wrong message, campaigns gone bad, poor political choices (thanks Mr. Rove). But one strategic move that can't be overlooked is John McCain's recent ad denigrating his political opponent. The commercial, aired nationally, compares Obama's celebrity to that of Britney Spears and Paris Hilton. The ad itself, not so brilliant. But it's the reaction to the ad that must be commended (which is why credit must be given to McCain's consultants for initiating this catfight). Savor this bit put out by funnyordie.com:
