"His Choice"

Obama is up with a new ad that directly raises, for the first time, the problems with McCain's Palin pick:




I think this is a pretty hard-hitting ad, and using McCain's own words makes it even more so. But really, is it wise to make this kind of move with less than a week left? It seems like Obama basically needs to keep making the points he's making, get the GOTV operation in gear, and run out the clock. This ad feels a little risky... not sure how many people need this point directly made to them (as the media's done a pretty good job of making it) and runs the risk of a backlash. These guys usually have good instincts, but I'm not sure about this.
