yes, logically, you're absolutely correct, tony and kh300.
The problem is, there are a lot of young moms who will see that ad, and will vote AGAINST mccain as a result.
MTV might be single-handedly trying to win this election for Obama. Think about it. They don't allow a single political ad for all 27 years of their existence. Suddenly they allow it, when they KNOW it'll be a frickin landslide 1-sided advantage for Obama. NO WAY will Mccain win over mtv voters. If anything, he'll alienate them or hurt his chances. But Obama? The same guy who listens to Jay-Z and grins on the cover of rolling stone and wants to end the war? He can pick up millions of votes. He can also get donations, and most importantly, he can have millions of bored kids working for his campaigh, 'spreading the word'.
And he has unlimited money to spend on commercials. Hmmmm
