What’s Next? Will McCain Vote for Obama?

McCain, in a rather public manner, has shown his weakness and lack of campaign prowess by calling for the North Carolina GOP to remove a campaign ad from circulation. John McCain says he wants to run a clean campaign. Is this add really “dirty” or “cheap?” I don’t think so. See for yourself.
The ad says Obama is too extreme for North Carolina. Of course he is, he is too extreme for the entire nation! Remember Mr. McCain, you are running against Obama!

Actually, I’m going to say this was perfect.
The NC GOP throws an ad out there which people see. It generates a little controversy, which trickles back to McCain, who can then take the high ground by asking them to take it down and in the process decry the politics of personal desturction, thus putting his opponents on notice that if they go that route, he has built up cred with the voters for running a clean campaign.
Meanwhile, every news outlet in America will air the ad repeatedly arguing about whether it steps over the line and praising McCain for his high ethical stand.
Beautiful, if you ask me.
