I authorized this ad
Unlike some people, I don't mind the new "I'm XXX and I authorized this ad" taglines that the McCain-Feingold reforms require at the end of campaign ads. Dean, among others, uses it as a good way to get in one final jibe, "...I authorized this ad because I want to [insert here]."
Clark, notably, is one candidate who should rejigger his ads, as he merely ends with "I authorized this advertisement." Watching the RNC flight-suit ad is also a little awkward, what with Ed Gillepsie "authorizing" an ad that is clearly the work of the Bush White House.
You can see all the new ads over at C-Span's website.
