I wondered if the McCain email gaffe would get enough people stirred up for it to have an effect. I think that question has been answered. It prompted the normally terse and laconic Glenn Reynolds, known for his frequent one-word posts, to write what is for him an Atlas Shrugged-length blog post. Here’s part of it:
In a single not-very-compelling ad calling McCain a clueless geezer who can’t even send email, the Obama campaign managed to draw attention to his war injuries again, to show that it doesn’t even know that the 2000 McCain campaign actually pioneered the insurgent Web tactics that Obama used in the 2008 primary, and to produce an ad that seems tailor-made to alienate voters more than a few years older than Obama, all without providing any actual reason to, you know, vote for Obama.
And there’s even more. As Glenn would say, read the whole thing.
