Had the cross-cutting between Obama and Biden been a little quicker to emphasize the absurdity of the contradiction, this one might have reached the sarcastic heights of the “celebrity” ads. No matter. Conservatives will relish it anyway for rubbing Biden’s face in a warm pile. And by pile, I don’t mean a pile of coal.

this is wonderful. I hope it’s on the air, not just on the web Every man, woman and child in Ohio, PA, WVA should see this. Come to think of it, everyone everywhere should...

and they dare question the intelligence of our VP. These two are funnier than Abbot and Costello.

“funnier than Abbot and Costello”

I’m more prone to think Tweedledee and Tweedledum-

I don’t like it.

All they had to do was play the Biden footage saying “NO coal, build it in China”

I suppose PA is sensitive to Obama’s pandering, but it would have been more effective to just play Biden’s words.

I don’t like it either....would have been much more effective to play Biden’s words & have the script read: “They may say one thing in a speech in a coliseum, but the truth comes out when they aren’t scripted”....or something to that effect.....play Biden over & over & over & over again & maybe insert at the end the “bitter clingers” comment....

I dunno, given what a delicious opportunity Biden’s gaffe presented to land a knock-down punch, I think the ad is a little confusing and disjointed.

I’m glad that they have been aggressive with the ads, but I generally haven’t liked them.
