As DeLong notes, it's eerie-looking.

For a candidate who has to cope with the always already there issue of Age to present himself looking like nothing less than an apparition is astonishing. He appears flat-out ghostly; half his face just not there, the black suit against the black background effectively makes his body disappear as well, leaving only the haunting half-moon of his pale white face and the vertical streak of brightness emanating from his shirt peeking through the darkness.

Perhaps his campaign was shooting for the serious/somber look; and given the subject matter, such a look would be appropriate.

But they've leaped right over serious/somber and managed to produce a video that can only be described as macabre.

McCain has criticized the conduct of the war but embraces the concept of preemptive war. A concept that has no moral understanding and has been condemned by every leading religious authority in the world. Not withstanding the crack-pot religious right wing nut jobs in America and else where who masquerade as Christians.
