Will the McCain campaign release any more advertisements with Britney Spears or Paris Hilton?
Current forecast: 18% chance 
Combining all predictions, the current forecast is that this is 18% likely to happen (unchanged in last 1 day)
John McCain's gotten into trouble recently for a campaign commercial he released, comparing Barack Obama's celebrity to that of troubled celebrities Briney and Paris. According to the campaign they were trying to inject some humor into the debate, but Obama sees it as a mocking advertisement.
Here's the advertisement:
In a campaign for the youth vote, using figures which are easily recognizable is the best way to get attention. The ad has gotten airtime on all the major networks and whatever its faults is effective. With its success already sealed will McCain rely on these lovely girls again?

You are going to have to acquire some thicker skin, especially before you get ready to sit down and chat with folks that don't like the US so much.

Paris Hilton Responds to McCain Ad

Paris 2008!!!
A Liberal columnist mentioning his big ears,
People noticing his middle name, (but not when he mentions his middle name)
A Liberal newspaper's front page cartoon,
When someone else compares him to Paris Hilton (but not when he makes the comparison himself)
I have trouble imagining how he would handle the amount of criticism that is leveled at our President every day - God bless George W Bush!
