John McCain's new ad titled "Expensive Plans" reinforces previous attacks about Obama being a tax-and-spend liberal. The new tactic in this ad is to try and link Obama to Congressional Democrats. The McCain camp is hoping that the historically low approval rates for the Congress will hurt Obama. I think the case falls flat on a couple of fronts -- John McCain has been in the Senate way longer than Obama so he isn't exactly immune to the low approval ratings. Secondly, the voters do not seem to blame the Democrats for the gridlock in the D.C. In generic ballots Democrats outperform the Republicans by large margins. The ad itself isn't as good as some of the previous ones. What's with featuring Senate Democrats like Dodd, Reid, Leahy, and Schumer in the ad? Do most people even recognize these guys?
