It's a full 60 second response to the disgusting campaign that Bush and his minions are waging against, of all things, John Kerry's war record. The ad compares the contrasting records of Bush and Kerry during those pivotal years in their lives.

You can watch it here, and contribute to help get it on the air.

I had some questions about the ad, particularly the first part which dramatizes one of Kerry's VietNam experiences; something about it struck me as corny, not the experience, the way the ad presents it. The ad is quite tough on Bush's record during the same period, stressing certain "facts" that I don't think some swing voters yet consider facts, but the presentation is so low key that it won me over as being fairly effective.

I'd be curious to hear what any readers think about the ad, or any other thoughts you might have about what kind of ads you think like to see promoting Kerry's candidacy.

UPDATE Alert reader scout asks:

Isn't this ad in direct violation of what 527s can and can't do? I thought that 527s couldn't advocate for the election of any given candidate over another one?

Readers? Any answers?

UPDATE UPDATE: Comments contributor "justicestory" correctly points out that...

The ad is being put out by MoveOnPac, a registered political action committee, not a 527.
