As I reported earlier, John McCain released an ad today in which the Democrats of Christmas Past praise John

McCain as a "Maverick."

I predicted a response by the Obama campaign before the end of business, consisting of Republicans eviscerating McCain and/or praising Obama.

Close, but the response is from the DNC, and it hews closely to the McCain ad, using modern-day quotes from the exact same Democrats to make the point that McCain has lost his Maverick mojo.

The DNC has been doing a good job in pushing back against the McCain campaign, which begs the question, "Who are you and what have you done with the Democrats?"

Since they probably don't want to give him the free exposure, I'll share with you Republican Gordon Smith's ad about a newer "Maverick" that he reached across the aisle to work with.

Our New Approach to Comments

In an effort to encourage the same level of civil dialogue among Politics Daily’s readers that we expect of our writers – a “civilogue,” to use the term coined by PD’s Jeffrey Weiss – we are requiring commenters to use their AOL or AIM screen names to submit a comment, and we are reading all comments before publishing them. Personal attacks (on writers, other readers, Nancy Pelosi, George W. Bush, or anyone at all) and comments that are not productive additions to the conversation will not be published, period, to make room for a discussion among those with ideas to kick around.
