Thumbs up The McCain "Yes We Can" Video

We've all heard about the Obama Yes We Can video. Well some folks in the McCain camp have responded.


Wait. Damn. On second thought, this looks like a parody.

Re: The McCain "Yes We Can" Video

What is that song? I remember it from I think the 80's, but the original words escape me, and I've never been one for remembering song titles.

From the TV show "Fame".. there may have been a play it's based off I can't remember.

Re: The McCain "Yes We Can" Video

As interesting as the video was, I'm not entirely sure what the point is. It's not like McCain has made a secret of his pro-war stance or anything. His primary campaign actually made a point of insisting that none of the other Republican candidates were as solidly Pro-War as McCain was. Since this video doesn't even try to make a case against the war, but just reminds those who are already against it that McCain isn't, I don't see it really convincing anyone to change their vote.

Here's hoping JibJab steps back in with some movies once the election really kicks in.
