The McCain campaign released their first television ad this week entitled “624787.” I won’t say what the title means; watch the ad for yourself to find out.
The ad features several of the same video clips from McCain’s popular web ad “Man in the Arena” which was released earlier this month. The ad mostly touts McCain’s leadership skills, patriotism, experience and to some degree his national security credentials. These are expected to remain among McCain’s central themes in the coming months. If the narrator sounds familiar it is because it’s actor Powers Boothe of HBO’s Deadwood fame and most recently as Vice-President Daniels on the 6th season of “24.”
The new ad is currently running only in New Mexico, a key battlegroud state that Bush carried by less than one percent in 2004.
