McCain radio ad hits hard

Obama votes "no" on funding troops:



This is in keeping with the stepped-up aggressive tactics that Steve Schmidt has brought to the campaign. Meanwhile, in Colorado, as John Hinderaker notes, McCain hit hard in a speech:

[A]s our troops took the fight to the enemy, Senator Obama tried to cut off funding for them. He was one of only 14 senators to vote against the emergency funding in May 2007 that supported our troops in Iraq and Afghanistan. . . .
If Senator Obama had prevailed, American forces would have had to retreat under fire. . . .
Fortunately, Senator Obama failed, not our military. We rejected the audacity of hopelessness, and we were right.

So while Obama was basking in the glow of European admiration, McCain was ripping him a new one at home. And, thanks to his big blunder at Landstuhl, Obama will return stateside to find himself on the defensive. Watch out for that shark, Fonzie!
