August 20. 2008

Baby to Obama: are you that black dude from TV? What's up bro! Sign my bib before you go.

Last week they were tied in the polls. This week John McCain pulls ahead by 5 points in the race for the U.S. presidency.

Some papers are attributing it to his attention getting ads and attacks on rival, Democrat, Barack Obama. Thus far, the McCain campaign has been more successful in blanketing TV and the internet with notable ads. While Obama's presence on television has been very strong, in ads he is lagging behind online.

Obama needs to take his campaign to the next level to keep the race competitive. McCain is throwing everything at him and he will need to counter that in order to stave off the tangible threat to his presidential campaign.
