24. The North Carolina ad thing was designed to make McCain look good
Edited on Fri Apr-25-08 06:41 PM by Hippo_Tron
One of McCain's surrogates called the NC GOP and told them to run a controversial ad so that McCain could look good by criticizing his own party for running dirty ads.

This is GOP dirty tricks 101. Clinton and Obama are going at each other and McCain pulls a stunt to make it look like he's "above the fray".

Look at this LA Times Headline

McCain assails North Carolina GOP for Obama ad

http://www.latimes.com/news/nationworld/nation/la-na-campaign26apr26,0,3870389.story

It's not "NC GOP runs controversial ad" and then later in the story it mentions that McCain denounces them. The freakin headline is about McCain denouncing his own party.
