Finally a Good McCain Campaign Ad

After months of writing about Barack Obama's good campaign ads, I can finally write about a good (or at least, reasonably good) campaign ad for John McCain.

The title of the ad is 624787, which caught my attention. At first, I thought the title was a goof and the technical people at the McCain campaign forgot to give the ad a real title for YouTube.com

Why Ad is Persuasive

• It inspires
• It makes you feel like America can come together and it makes you respect Senator McCain.
  
• It makes you feel good
• John McCain is complementing people in the ad. The viewers are called "honorable" and "worth protecting"
  
• It plays to patriotism
• When one gets a glimpse of what John McCain went through, it makes you respect him tremendously.
  
• It attacks Hillary Clinton
• One of the subtitles says that John McCain is "ready from day one." This is a line that Hillary Clinton has used extensively so John McCain is subtly attacking.
