The Corner

One Car, Two Accelerators, No Brake, and an Approaching Precipice

With all this talk of gloves being taken off and Bill Ayers and all that, I decided to ask an expert what kind of ad he would make to attack Barack Obama, if he were given that assignment today.  Alex Castellanos is the widely-acknowledged master of the genre, but he’s not taking part in this presidential campaign.  This is the ad he said he’d make:

When this country and this economy are so near the precipice, do we really want to be driving a car with two accelerators and no brake?  A Democratic Congress and a Democratic president like Barack Obama?  A complete, unrestricted blank check for inexperienced radical leadership in Washington?

In short, let voters suffer buyer’s remorse now, before the purchase.
