This new anti-McCain video, THE COMMANDER IN CHIEF TEST from Humanitainment.com feels a little too harsh to be effective. That's a shame in a way, since the clips are very damning. But to my eye the overlays somehow trivialize them and reduce their sting.

I agree that this video is ineffective, at least for most of America. Videos like this one are simply designed to whip the extremist outer fringes into action, and at that it may be effective.
:O)

I’m not sure it is too harsh. It may be that a little harshness is necessary.
Oh, and is it just too geeky to note that supporting (in theory at least) solar system exploration doesn’t seem to fit with the rest of these poor judgments. It’s worth arguing about how much we should spend on manned space exploration, but being pro-Mars doesn’t to me seem to be a disqualification from office.
