Pelosi: Newest GOP ad “insults our intelligence”<\/a><\/p>\n

House Speaker Nancy Pelosi came out swinging at the first official convention event on Sunday, calling John McCain \u201cbankrupt\u201d of ideas after Republicans unveiled a new ad questioning why Hillary Rodham Clinton is not on the Democratic ticket.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Actually that, the Biden (in his own words)\u00a0video<\/a> and the Converted Clinton Delegate video<\/a> are pretty good stuff, and Obama’s handlers should have anticipated all of the above if in fact there is intelligence enough to be insulted.<\/p>\n

But is it working?<\/p>\n

(Two separate polls<\/a>) show a substantial number of Hillary Clinton\u2019s supporters are considering voting for a Republican president, rather than Democratic presidential candidate Barack Obama in November.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Speaking of insulting our intelligence (emphasis mine):<\/p>\n

Pelosi warned that the ad is \u201ca sign of things to come,\u201d arguing that since Democrats have the upper hand on \u201ckitchen table\u201d issues like health care and the economy<\/strong>, the McCain campaign will be forced to resort to \u201cdiversionary tactics.”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

McCain started this campaign rather deliberately but his team is\u00a0reacting to opportunities rapidly now and with some success. So take a pill Nancy. You’re gonna’ need it.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
