I'm reminded of Dan Quayle's meeting with the incoming VP Dick Cheney; Quayle told him about all the ceremonial boring crap he had to do as veep; Cheney said "we have a different arrangement".

One of our friends who watched it with us isn't a McCain supporter (though she did vote for Bush, twice, and is embarassed about it now), but is reluctant to vote for Obama specifically because of the $250,000 tax thing: she runs a successful small business which indeed nets over a quarter million. The infomercial got her thinking, and I think she'll be counted as an undecided voter swayed to vote Obama.
