Personally, I seriously doubt McCain will announce his VP pick this Thursday. It would be classless, and, I think he and his folks know that. But, this should be interesting. An ad released while The Messiah rises on his platform like Zeus or Addonis, to preach from the backdrop of Mt. Olympis.

Via The Politico, who caught this during Morning Joe (along with 30 other people)

MIKA BRZEZINSKI: Apparently the McCain campaign has an ad rolling out tonight. What’s it about?

JILL HAZELBAKER: Well, Mika, this is a historic ad. I think this is the first of its kind. Senator McCain is going to speak direct to camera to Barack Obama. I’m not going to give away many more details than that. But suffice to say it’s going to be a very exciting ad, and I think it’s going to get a lot of attention

BRZEZINSKI: Jill, you’ve got to give us more on this ad. He’s speaking directly to camera, John McCain is to Barack Obama. If you say there’s news here, what’s the news?

HAZELBAKER: Well, I’m going to keep a lid on it. But I think it’s newsworthy to note that Senator McCain is going to have an ad that’s going to air in battleground states around the time that Senator Obama is speaking tonight. And he’s going to be talking directly to his opponent. So, I’m going to leave it there, but it’s going be very exciting and a lot of people are going to focus on it.

Should be interesting! Of course, we all know that Barry and The Nutroots will require a waaaah-mbulance!
