Obama sends wolves after Palin

Well, not literally . . . and possibly not even figuratively. Seizing on a story in Wall Street Journal that claimed the Democrats had sent 30 lawyers to Alaska to do oppo research, the McCain released this ad. The DNC has denied that either they or the Obama campaign has sent anyone to Alaska to do anything, but that hasn't led to the ad being pulled. The imagery is striking, seeming to play on Palin's gender and possibly on Obama's race -- images of predators, an angry looking black man, and a voiceover that claims the angry black man has sent those predators after Palin. (Also, the quotation about spreading false stories is not referring to Obama in its original context, but it is presented here as if it were.)
