MoveOn has released a new :30 spot that goes after John McCain on Iraq — not just the "100 years" proclamation, but his more recent claim that it’s "not too important" when troops are pulled out.

Per the Washington Post blog The Trail, which calls it the "first intentional shock spot" of the ’08 presidential campaign: The ad is slated to run for a week starting on Wednesday in the general-election swing states of Wisconsin, Ohio and Michigan, with an additional run on CNN and MSNBC funded by the American Federation of State, County and Municipal Employees. The initial investment is expected to reach $543,000, said a MoveOn spokesman.

Set the same script & same mom, then have a man in desert fatigues lying dead in Faluja. Followed with Mom saying “I didn’t want you to have Alex’s daddy either”. That would have been shocking.
