The Obama campaign has a new ad, titled “Parachute,” that hammers home the economic populist message. “You’ve got corporate executives who are giving themselves million-dollar golden parachutes and leaving workers high and dry,” Obama says in the ad. “That’s wrong. It’s an outrage.”

Extra-special bonus: The video includes a nice little dig on Golden Girl Carly Fiorina and her $42 million out-the-door money.

The electoral formula is pretty simple: The more people are thinking about the economy, the worse things are going to get for John McCain.
