Did anyone see it? From the comments I’ve read around the right blogosphere, it was a bust – but one must sit up and take notice when the AP finds fault:
Democratic presidential candidate Barack Obama was less than upfront in his half-hour commercial Wednesday night about the costs of his programs and the crushing budget pressures he would face in office.
Obama’s assertion that “I’ve offered spending cuts above and beyond” the expense of his promises is accepted only by his partisans.

Anyways – what did you think of it? Will it help? Hurt? Make no difference? Did Chris Matthews get another leg-tingle out of it?
