Every Republican Ad Needs to Carry This Image
John McCain said that he was emotionally angry to see the Democrats giggling like schoolgirls over their "victory." Seeing Nancy Pelosi cackle with glee was too much for me; I had to turn her speech off.
This is pretty obvious, I guess, but the video and pictures of Pelosi cackling like a witch must run with virtually every conservative ad in the fall.
Among the best cuts is her asking "How do you like our 220?" I think many people have a two-word answer to that. She followed it up, giggling, saying "No money changed hands." It was an attempt to be lighthearted about betting on the outcome of the vote, but it highlighted the fact that a lot of money ha changed hands here.
That image just gets people where they live. It's not an intellectual thing -- it's just an emotional reaction to someone who just fucked you over and then cavorts joyously about it on television, dancing on your grave.
