McCain TV ad: “Is He the one?” and other things

Love it. Tasteful, relevant, well conceived and directed. Good graphics, articulate speaker and all other positive. The most of which is the “one question” factor. When dealing with the public, the “one question” at a time is the way to go. In my opinion, to lump too much information into an ad and them request the general public to dissect segments and answer questions misses the point. Leave the message with one question for one answer at a time. Kudos for the ad.
=====================================
Little Margaret Carlson? An intellect? Really, now! I was floored hearing her interacting with Andrea Mitchell this afternoon. The lady is a class act and she and Andrea hit my hand to a “T”. There was no bull shit, no “big me, little you”, no agenda pushing or anything. They responded to each other as equals and gave each other due respect. I think Andrea tries hard to have people not fear her but only to be comfortable having full knowledge what they are talking about. She bends over backwards to avoid embarrassing people; rather she lets them do it to themselves with answers to her questions. Andrea, like Chris, has a show wherein you do not come on it unless you know what you are talking about. They can put you in “check” at any moment with you talking your bull shit. I could not wait to run and tell it! It was great and I enjoyed the segment very, very much.

Ms. Mitchell always appears to me as the owner and CEO of a company seated in front of massive floor to ceiling windows in an elegantly furnished office talking to one of her supervisors, one on one, reviewing his most recent report he has submitted to be published in “The Annual Review”.
=====================================
Yesterday, I watched more of “Road to the White House” than I ever had and decided I liked the format. I was mindful of a forum wherein a knowledgeable moderator would address a large roundtable of equally knowledgeable participants regarding constitutional and other law issues and questioned each reply down to its most minute essence while introducing new issues.

Lamentably, mainstream media does not have such a cadre of individuals who can address the most basic of our social issues without pushing an agenda but hey, you can’t win’em all. I repeat; the format of the show has, as they say and in my opinion, pregnant possibilities.
=====================================
Regarding the Paris Hilton and that other girl in the ad for Sen. McCain: didn’t the producers of the ad have to have a contract with their press agents? Can one use their image as indiscrimately as it appeared in the ad?
As always,
BB
