Commercials- Quick Comment

All commercials before the debate for Obama as well as McCain were of the candidate sitting or standing, around some sort of background, showing their patriotism with flags and what not. The commercials content consisted of a vague idea of something the candidate stood for, something they believed in. At the end of the commercials each candidate would say they themselves approved this message. After the debate I noticed more commercials than before. But these commercials were different. Each candidate would pick a topic that the opposing spoke of during the debate and that they didn't agree with. They would emphasize the points that are not at all beneficial to Americans. The commercials did not necessarily have Obama or McCain in them either or them speaking. And then at the end of the commercials most of the time now it says this commercial approved by the republican or the democratic party. I've noticed that most of the McCain's commercials now are being approved by the republican party, but Obama still is approving his own commercials. I just found this interesting.
